Introducing the much-anticipated 100 size in the CALCUTTA Conquest DC series, known for its exceptional toughness, casting distance, and anti-backlash performance. This model is equipped with the I-DC5, allowing for intricate brake settings and significantly improved anti-backlash performance. The addition of a W (Wind) mode enhances its capability to handle strong winds, while the synergy with the Magnumlite Spool, known for its quick startup and low-trajectory long casts, improves both casting distance and castability. Even in strong winds, casting bulky lures becomes effortless. The high-rigidity, cold-forged body houses the MicroModule Gear, offering a low-noise, smooth reeling experience. The new roller clutch reduces rotational resistance, polishing up the winding power even further.
The eagerly awaited CALCUTTA Conquest DC elevates the adaptability of the ruler of lure casting. A critical factor in baitcasting reel performance is the spool's moment of inertia. The development aimed to reduce it through blanking and thinning of the spool barrel diameter. The second-generation Magnumlite Spool successfully drills holes on the spool's side, which was technically challenging before, achieving approximately a 10% reduction in the moment of inertia compared to our company's previous models, and significantly increasing casting distance. It features an internal dial with three modes (Nylon, Fluoro, PE) and a five-stage external dial for selection, including a W (Wind) mode in the Calcutta Conquest DC for strong wind conditions, controlling backlash and achieving appropriate braking.
The change in spool size and gear ratio has noticeably increased the torque feeling. It makes winding the strong resistance Magnum Crank smooth and facilitates speed control. Even with a compact body that's easy to palm, the quality of winding feels superior to previous models, and the casting distance has also increased. With the DC, high-rigidity body, and smooth gears, it's truly a flagship model embodying THE Shimano.
This reel has become indispensable for me. The CALCUTTA Conquest DC is just the right size, not only improving the casting distance but also making it easier to throw light lures and execute low-trajectory casts. As someone who frequently fishes tight spots with overhead cover using lures, this reel is a perfect match. Plus, its powerful winding capability makes handling resistance-heavy lures effortless, maintaining an easy rhythm. |
