The benchmark in smoothness, precision and pure power, Shimano designed the New Calcutta Conquest 200 to be the pinnacle in performance. While the Calcutta Conquest 200 may look like a classic, this iconic reel incorporates many of Shimano's flagship technologies for those anglers demanding the best.
The new Calcutta Conquest features Infinity Drive — a first for Shimano to include this technology in a bass reel — to provide anglers with increased winding power under load. Simply put, the compact size defies resistance and heavy loads with ease for extreme angler benefit. The MGL Spool III increases an angler's arsenal of techniques, allowing for casting of an even greater variety of lures while also providing greater casting distance and precision with even less effort.
Additional premium features include SilentTune and MicroModule Gears, paired together to create an experience of absolute precision with every handle turn. Built for anglers who prefer a classic look while demanding the pinnacle in performance, the new Calcutta Conquest sets a new precedence.

S-Compact Body allows for all-day comfort and improved fishability by making the palming side plate up to 25% smaller than the A-Side plate.
Super Free Spool eliminates friction on the spool shaft during the cast. Standard baitcasting reels are constructed in a way that when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft. This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast. But baitcasting reels with Super Free Spool are constructed so that the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing. When the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. The result: zero friction is placed upon the spool shaft and enhances casting performance.
By applying slight pressure to the bearing holding the spool, SilentTune reduces the vibration of the bearing during high-speed rotation. This improves the quietness while casting and the rise of the spool rotation becomes even smoother.
Infinity Drive technology is an advanced structure that produces more powerful and exceptionally light winding within conventional and low-profile reels. This innovative design supports the pinion gear with the spool shaft rather than supporting the pinion gear with a bearing on the spool side. Infinity Drive within low-profile and conventional reels also optimizes the support distance and pinion gear thickness to achieve high support rigidity so that anglers can actively wind under heavy loads without compromising gear strength.
Exciting Drag Sound technology enables drag sound on a baitcasting reel without using the function of a rattle or clicker. This ultimately makes it easy for an angler to determine whether a fish is pulling drag and provides an advantage during the fight.
HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
S3D Spool technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing and constructing a balanced and uniform thin-wall aluminum spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.
MGL Spool III is the low inertia spool that designed with thin spool wall keeping the durability, This contribute to improve the casting performance, quick response, long distance, cast feeling and castabillity.
S A-RB Bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing.
The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.
The MicroModule Gear system creates a smooth retrieve by utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear. Ultimately, this produces a more efficient gear train with less of a gear feel.
Shimano's newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity, provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting, especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments when anglers need to adjust to the conditions or when they switch baits.
