The Calcutta Conquest is Shimano’s premium round profile reel. A work of technological perfection and beautifully crafted from lightweight aluminium, it is designed to deliver powerful, unparalleled performance when fishing with the very largest lures and baits.
When it comes to uncompromising design and manufacturing quality, the Calcutta Conquest is right at the top of the tree. There is nothing better in the Shimano round profile line-up and if you are looking for the best large lure reel available, this is it.
The full metal design is remarkably lightweight and deceptively compact, feeling more like a traditional baitcasting reel in the hand, but that’s where the similarity ends. You will be astounded by how much torque the Calcutta Conquest produces when worked hard. The result is smooth, powerful winding of the largest lures, especially highly resistant versions like oversized crankbaits and spinner baits.
The remarkable cranking performance comes from the ultra rigid HAGANE Body, combined with some of the most advanced gearing Shimano produces, including Micromodule, X-SHIP, Infinity Drive and Silent Tune. In fact, there’s so much inside the Calcutta Conquest that it’s a miracle the body is so compact and so light.
The combination of the S3D designed MGL Spool and SVS braking system ensures this reel casts as well as all but the most expensive, and considerably less powerful, baitcasting reels. And when you connect with the biggest of angry predators, the large surface area Cross Carbon Drag keeps everything reliably smooth, whilst the Exciting Drag Sound lets you know everything is under control.
