Shimano Calcutta Conquest A is more than just a reel; it is a masterpiece of mechanical engineering. It represents the pinnacle of Shimano’s round profile line-up, blending timeless classic design with the industry’s most advanced technologies. Beautifully crafted from lightweight aluminum, this reel is engineered for one purpose: to dominate the largest predators using heavy, high-impact lures.

Despite its full metal construction, the design is remarkably compact and lightweight, providing an in-hand feel comparable to modern low-profile baitcasting reels, but with unparalleled torque and pulling power. Thanks to the ultra-rigid HAGANE body and the Infinity Drive system, the Calcutta Conquest drastically reduces rotational resistance under load, allowing for the smooth retrieval of high-friction lures like large crankbaits, swimbaits, and oversized spinnerbaits.

Casting precision is guaranteed by the MGL S3D spool paired with the SVS Infinity braking system, ensuring long-distance casts and backlash-free performance even with challenging lures. Every detail, from the Silent Tune system to the Cross Carbon Drag with the iconic Exciting Drag Sound, is designed to turn every battle into an unforgettable sensory experience.
