The name Calcutta is synonymous with smooth performance, easy casting, and durable round reels that continue to evolve to meet the needs of the modern angler. Enter the Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC, the first saltwater rated DC reel, delivering unmatched versatility in a digital control platform. The I‑DC5 system, Shimano’s flagship DC technology, features a simple two dial design: the inside dial selects line type—nylon, fluorocarbon, or braid—while the outside dial matches braking to lure size or can be set to AUTO for optimized control. Working with an upgraded magnetic layout that includes a ring magnet, the system applies smoother, more consistent braking and increases initial spool speed by 12% compared to I‑DC4, resulting in longer, cleaner, trouble free casts. The Calcutta Conquest DC also incorporates MGL SPOOL IV, an ultra thin, reverse tapered spool engineered for low inertia, enhancing distance and accuracy when casting lighter lures. For anglers targeting big fish or making repeated casts with large baits, InfinityDrive provides light yet powerful winding under heavy load by minimizing friction between the main shaft and pinion gear. From presenting large glide baits for bass in freshwater to working topwater plugs and swimbaits for inshore favorites like striped bass, snook, and redfish, the Calcutta Conquest DC is built to excel wherever your pursuit leads. • I‑DC5: A digitally optimized braking system that fine‑tunes spool control for every line and lure type, delivering smoother casts, reduced backlash, and up to 12% faster spool startup thanks to an enhanced multi‑magnet design and even brake force distribution • MGL SPOOL IV: Reverse-taper design addresses line winding issues that often cause unbalanced spool rotation and vibration • InfinityDrive: A unique drag design to increase drag force while decreasing side load pressure to produce up to 40% lighter rotation during tough battles and high drag scenarios • First Saltwater Rated Shimano DC Platform CTCNQDC200XGA | 35" per crank | 7.5:1 | 10/155, 14/110 | 13+1 | 9.2oz CTCNQDC200HGA | 31" per crank | 6.5:1 | 10/155, 14/110 | 13+1 | 9oz CTCNQDC201XGA | 35" per crank | 7.5:1 | 10/155, 14/110 | 13+1 | 9.2oz CTCNQDC201HGA | 31" per crank | 6.5:1 | 10/155, 14/110 | 13+1 | 9oz
