Shimano Calcutta Conquest Baitcasting Reels

While the new Calcutta Conquest 100 and 200 may look like classics, these iconic reels incorporate many of Shimano’s flagship technologies for these anglers demanding the best. The new Calcutta Conquest features Infinity Drive — a first for Shimano to include this technology in a bass reel — to provide anglers with increased winding power under load. The compact 100-size defies resistance and heavy loads with ease for extreme angler benefit. The MGL Spool III increases an angler’s arsenal of techniques, allowing for casting of an even greater variety of lures while also providing greater casting distance and precision with even less effort. Additional premium features include SilentTune and MicroModule Gears, paired together to create an experience of absolute precision with every handle turn. Built for anglers who prefer a classic look while demanding the pinnacle in performance, the new Calcutta Conquest sets a new precedence.

The new Calcutta Conquest 300A and 400A offer anglers the paramount rigidity and precision that the previous generation was known for, but now with modern features like synchronized levelwind, HG gear ratio and 8 pin VBS braking system.

Micro Module Gear System

• The Micro Module Gear system creates a smoother retrieve experience. The new gear set make use of smaller and more numerous teeth, resulting in more contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear. The outcome is a more efficient gear train with less gear feel.

Hagane Metal Body

• The Hagane metal body is very rigid, which virtually eliminates body flexing. Angler action is directly translated into cranking power.

X-Ship Technology

• X-Ship technology provides increased gear durability. The pinion gears on both ends is supported by bearings, providing precise alignment with the drive gear. The gears will stay in position under the heaviest loads, and friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. The casting performance of the reel with lighter lures is highly improved, allowing for longer casts.

Shielded Anti-Rust Bearings

• S A-RB (Shielded Anti-Rust Bearing) features shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing’s rotation.

Shimano S3D Stable Spool Design

• Shimano Stable Spool Design (S3D) technology provides significantly reduced spool vibration. The balanced and uniform thin wall aluminum construction of the spool creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.

Super Free Spool

• Super Free Spool eliminate friction on the spool shaft during casting. The pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing to keep in perfect alignment with the spool shaft. The end result is zero friction upon the spool shaft.

Shimano VBS Braking System

• VBS uses centrifugal force to aid in controlling the cast. When on, the individual brake weights are forced outward at the beginning of the cast to reduce friction. Once the spool speed begin to slow, the pressure with which the brake weights contact the raceway lessens, allowing the spool to continue spinning.

Cross Carbon Drag

• Cross Carbon Drag provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

Exciting Drag Sound

• E-Exciting Drag Sound sends an electronic drag sound from the reel when a fish makes a run. This modern solution to the mechanical clicker is sure to add excitement to your day.
