Enter the Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC A, the first saltwater-rated DC reel, delivering unmatched versatility in a Digital Control platform. \n\nThe IDC5 system, Shimano’s flagship digital braking, now delivers precise control using a single external dial that directly adjusts brake force. Instead of line-specific modes, the new design uses three universal modes, L (Low), M (Medium), and H (High), each offering five levels of adjustment. This expanded 15-setting range gives anglers finer, more intuitive control over braking, letting anglers tune the reel to their exact situation and purpose without worrying about line type. The result is a trouble-free setup, more consistent braking, and even greater casting distance. \n\nThe Calcutta Conquest DC A also incorporates MGL Spool IV, an ultra-thin, reverse-tapered spool engineered for low inertia, enhancing distance and accuracy when casting lighter lures. \n\nFor anglers targeting big fish or making repeated casts with large baits, InfinityDrive provides light yet powerful winding under heavy load by reducing side load pressure, creating 40% lighter rotation during heavy battles. \n\nFrom 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 A is built to excel wherever your pursuit leads.\" class=\"_value-text_xztep4\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ember-view\" id=\"ember5341\"\u003e\u003cspan title=\"Building on the Curado DC legacy of durability, dependability, and all-around versatility, the updated Curado DC 150 A features enhanced IDC4 technology for even greater casting control.
