Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC Baitcasting Reels

Precision Casting Power

The Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC Baitcasting Reels combine the smooth, durable round-reel design the Calcutta name is known for with Shimano’s advanced DC casting technology. The saltwater-rated DC platform features IDC5 digital braking, giving anglers 15 external brake settings across Low, Medium, and High modes for more precise spool control without requiring line-specific settings. MGL Spool IV uses an ultra-thin, reverse-tapered spool designed to reduce spool inertia and improve casting performance, including with lighter lures. InfinityDrive reduces side-load pressure during heavy retrieves, helping maintain lighter winding under load when fighting powerful fish. Built for demanding presentations, the Calcutta Conquest DC is suited to everything from large glide baits and swimbaits for bass to topwater plugs and other inshore applications.
