Shimano Calcutta Conquest Baitcasting Reels are made with the rigidity and precision every angler needs in a round baitcasting reel.MicroModule GearX-Ship8 pin VBS braking systemLow Friction Handle Rotation DesignS3D SpoolS Compact Body designLarger Diameter SpoolSynchronized levelwindMicro Module G...earThe Micro Module Gear System creates a smooth retrieve. The new gear set makes use of smaller teeth and more of them. This means that there are more contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear. The result is a more efficient gear train with less gear feel.X-ShipX-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures and allow for longer casts.Shimano Stable Spool Design (S3D)Shimanos S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminum constructed spool S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.

The ultimate reel
This reel is very smooth and casts a mile. The drag is smooth and can handle any freshwater fish with ease. I cast heavy swimbaits on mine with 65 pound braid. This reel puts the enjoyment back into fishing and you have the confidence that you can cast without backlashes and land whatever you hook. It is truly the ultimate reel.
Great reel
I love throwing giant swimbaits on this when the mullet run is in effect
Good ole Shimano Quality
Smooth like butter is really all there is to say about this reel.
The 400 series would get about 180 yards of 80 pound power pro(0.43mm)
The Conquest would certainly work however, there are some other reels you may want to consider, due to availability. The Shimano Calcutta B 400, Daiwa Saltist Levelwind 20A and Okuma Komodo KDS-364 are all great reels for Tog and are in stock now.
<span style="font-size:16px;">CTCNQ300A has a faster retrieve rate of 6.2:1 more line per crank at 33in and an 8 pin VBS braking system. </span>
Will , unfortunately the Calcutta conquest 400 is only sold on the Japanese Domestic Market and is unavailable for purchase in the United States at this time.
13 pounds max drag.
These reels are still on pre-order. They should be available by the end of September. The 100 size will be $549.99. The 200 size will be $579.99.
