Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC Baitcaster Reel

The Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC Baitcaster Reel is the all-new 26th-generation flagship of Shimano's circular baitcasting reel series, combining iconic round-profile design with a stack of the latest technology to deliver state-of-the-art performance in a class of its own. The cold-forged HAGANE Body provides high-rigidity construction that virtually eliminates body flex during the fight, transforming the angler's actions directly into cranking power against hard-fighting fish. INFINITYDRIVE technology supports the pinion gear with the spool shaft rather than a bearing, reducing rotational resistance and delivering more powerful, lighter winding under heavy loads, whilst SILENTDRIVE eliminates play in the drive system and MicroModule Gears deliver the signature silky-smooth feel Conquest fans know.

The MAGNUMLITE SPOOL IV (MGL4) features a reverse-tapered design that corrects line-winding shape, reduces wobble during rotation, and enhances the spool's inherent rotational performance for extended casting distance and effortless low-trajectory casts. The NEW I-DC5 digital brake system uses a three-position mode dial (L, M, H) combined with a five-position brake dial to provide 15 levels of precise brake adjustment via an external dial, delicately controlling braking force across a wide range to elevate long-casting performance and trouble-free operation to an even higher dimension. SilentTune vibration elimination, 13+1 bearings, and a fully machined aluminium alloy body round out the package, whilst the compact low-profile body and lower spool position allow a more natural grip with greater wrist freedom for flexible, accurate casting.

This reel suits anglers chasing barramundi around timber, mangrove jack in the mangroves, bass and yellowbelly in freshwater impoundments, and other species where precise casting and smooth retrieve performance matter most. The combination of HAGANE rigidity, INFINITYDRIVE winding power, MAGNUMLITE SPOOL IV castability, and I-DC5 brake intelligence delivers the highest specs in Calcutta Conquest history, performing at a high level across low-trajectory surface casts, long-distance throws, delicate retrieves, and fighting big fish.
