SHIMANO Calcutta Conquest DC A casting reel

Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC A, casting mastery and precision

The Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC A represents a particularly refined evolution of the round-profile casting reel. It combines the characteristic robustness of the Calcutta Conquest range with Shimano technologies dedicated to smoothness, cast control and retrieval comfort.

Designed for demanding anglers, this reel offers precise mechanics and excellent spool control. Its design allows for consistent casting performance with different types of lures and lines, while making it easier to maintain control when conditions become more challenging, particularly in windy situations.

I-DC5 digital braking

The Calcutta Conquest DC A features the I-DC5 digital braking system, designed to precisely adjust spool rotation during the cast. It offers 15 adjustment settings, spread across three modes adapted to different line types.

This electronic braking management provides greater control and helps reduce the risk of backlashes. The angler can thus pursue distance and accuracy while maintaining excellent control over the cast.

MGL IV spool for high-performance casting

The MGL IV spool benefits from low inertia, allowing for fast and smooth spin-up. It enhances casting performance and makes it easier to get the most out of lures that require a particularly responsive spool.

Combined with S3D and Super Free Spool technologies, it also helps reduce vibrations and friction during spool rotation. The result is more stable behavior and an increased sense of control during the cast.

Exceptionally smooth Shimano mechanics

MicroModule gears ensure precise operation and an exceptionally smooth retrieve. This design is complemented by SilentDrive and SilentTune technologies, aimed at reducing play, vibrations and unwanted noise from the internal mechanics.

The Calcutta Conquest DC A thus retains a sense of smoothness and precision characteristic of Shimano's high-end casting reels.

Robust and rigid HAGANE body

The HAGANE aluminum body provides the rigidity needed to keep all mechanical components perfectly aligned under stress. This construction minimizes deformation and ensures efficient power transmission during retrieves and fights.

Its round profile preserves the historic identity of the Calcutta Conquest range while featuring an S-Compact Body design, conceived to improve grip and fishing comfort.

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 appropriate maintenance.

The Exciting Drag Sound system provides an audible signal when a fish takes line against the drag, offering better feedback during fights.
