Introducing Shimano's first-ever saltwater-rated DC reel, the Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC 200 Casting Reels have evolved to meet the needs of modern anglers by delivering unmatched versatility in a digital control platform. Built with Shimano's flagship DC technology, the I-DC5 system features a simple two-dial design where the inside dial selects line type (nylon, fluorocarbon, or braid), and 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.

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. Additionally, the Conquest DC also uses an ultra-thin, reverse-tapered MGL IV spool engineered for low inertia, extending distance, and enhancing accuracy when casting lighter lures. 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 Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC 200 Casting Reels are built to excel wherever your pursuit leads.
