Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC

Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC is a flagship round-profile baitcasting reel combining powerful, exceptionally smooth winding with advanced digitally controlled casting performance. The precision MicroModule Gear is joined by Infinity Drive and SilentDrive to deliver lighter, stronger and smoother winding within the series' signature rigid cold-forged round body.

MagnumLite Spool IV uses a reverse-taper spool profile to create more balanced line lay, suppress rotational vibration and improve casting performance. Combined with the latest I-DC5 braking system, it supports both long-distance casting and accurate low-trajectory presentations.

The updated I-DC5 provides 15 brake settings through three L, M and H modes combined with a five-position external brake dial, allowing fine adjustment across a broad braking range regardless of line type. The body has also been made more compact and lower profile than the previous Calcutta Conquest DC, lowering the spool position for more natural palming and greater wrist freedom during casting.

The 100-size models use a 34 mm spool and are available in MG and HG ratios, while the 200-size lineup includes PG, HG and XG options for applications ranging from high-resistance crankbaits and large swimbaits to big baits and fast-paced saltwater fishing. Additional technologies include HAGANE Body, Silent Tune, S Compact Body, Exciting Drag Sound, S3D Spool, S A-RB and Super Free Spool.
