Shimano Calcutta Conquest A Baitcasting Reel

The absolute flagship of big bait baitcasting reels: the Shimano Calcutta Conquest A is one of the untouchable top reels for fishing with heavy lure for particularly large fish! Not only is it equipped with advanced technologies, but its design makes it a real feast for the eyes on the water.

The extremely robust gear of the reel must withstand great forces. This masters the role thanks to the very precisely milled MicroModule gears and the X-Ship** gear system with ease. In combination with the 12+1 ball bearings, the gear not only ensures great smoothness, but also immense robustness. These internal components are encased in the high-quality and lightweight Hagane reel body, which is characterized by immense resistance, stability and torsional stiffness. The SVS brake system gives you full control during the cast. Casting is made even smoother by synchronizing the line guide with the line on the spool. As a result, the line guide follows the line and thus prevents unnecessary friction.

The Super Free Spool System* (SF) ensures long casting distances by avoiding a typical problem of conventional baitcasting reels. When the Clutch Bar is actuated, friction can occur between the Pinion Gear and the spool shaft. With the SF technology, the Pinion Gear is supported on a ball bearing, keeping all components in perfect alignment and eliminating friction. Of course, the spool also plays a big role in achieving respectable casting distances. S3D technology prevents vibration of the thin-walled and lightweight aluminum spool, which further increases casting distance and also makes cranking in smoother. We particularly like the Exciting Drag sound. This makes the reel make the typical braking sound when a big fish takes line hard. 

The Shimano Conquest Calcutta A is the ultimate baitcasting reel for big bait fishing. Whether in freshwater or saltwater, the reel delivers performance where it is needed and is an absolute feast for the eyes. A clear recommendation for all who like to fish for big fish with big baits.
