SHIMANO Calcutta Conquest DC A casting reel

Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC A: casting control and precision

The Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC A represents a highly refined evolution of the round-profile baitcasting reel. It combines the characteristic strength of the Calcutta Conquest range with Shimano technologies designed for smooth operation, casting control and comfortable retrieves.

Designed for demanding anglers, this reel offers precise mechanics and excellent spool control. Its design supports strong casting performance with different types of lures and line while making it easier to maintain control in challenging conditions, particularly into the wind.

I-DC5 digital braking

The Calcutta Conquest DC A features an I-DC5 digital braking system designed to precisely regulate spool rotation during the cast. It offers 15 settings across three modes suited to different types of line.

This electronic braking control provides greater control and helps reduce the risk of backlashes. Anglers can pursue distance and accuracy while maintaining excellent control over their casts.

MGL IV spool for high-performance casting

The MGL IV spool has low inertia, allowing it to spin up quickly and smoothly. It enhances casting performance and helps anglers get more from lures that call for a particularly responsive spool.

Combined with S3D and Super Free Spool technologies, it also helps reduce vibration and friction as it rotates. The result is more stable performance and a greater sense of control when casting.

Exceptionally smooth Shimano mechanics

The MicroModule gears provide precise operation and exceptionally smooth retrieves. They are complemented by SilentDrive and SilentTune technologies, designed to reduce play, vibration and unwanted noise from the internal mechanism.

The Calcutta Conquest DC A thus retains the smooth, precise feel characteristic of Shimano’s premium baitcasting reels.

Strong, rigid HAGANE body

The aluminum HAGANE body provides the rigidity needed to keep the mechanical components securely aligned under load. This construction limits flex and enables efficient power transfer during retrieves and fights.

Its round profile preserves the longstanding identity of the Calcutta Conquest range while incorporating an S-Compact Body design intended to improve grip and comfort when fishing.

Designed for intensive use

The S A-RB bearings offer enhanced corrosion resistance, allowing the reel to be used in both freshwater and saltwater environments with proper maintenance.

The Exciting Drag Sound system provides an audible signal when a fish pulls line against the drag, giving you better feedback during the fight.
