Very well organized clear info … keep doing these , thanks

Beautiful reel. I still have the first, original Shimano Calcutta reels put out...over 30 years old now. The only thing I've ever replaced was drag washers from loads of big fish ripping line off the spool. These reels, like those before them, are durable and will stand the test of time.

[@ThroneOfDespair]

This iteration of the Conquest in the 200/201 size makes an excellent choice for magnum sized crankbaits (2 oz) like the StrikeKing 6,8,10xds as well as those Megabass big m's.

Awesome finding a reel review that is well done and informative!! Thank you!

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

Glad it was helpful!

Perfect reel for Pike fishing in europe!!! Thanks for the Great Video. :)

[@bernardofumagalli3777]

What a reel ! 😃 .... can't wait to have it available in my local tackle store

[@jurajsladkay2608]

Does shimano fix vibration noise out of non handle sideplate?

[@adamvvs2644]

Thanks for the videos

[@vengeancefalls4552]

This man is LEGIT!

[@davidgregg1702]

Is this new Calcutta Conquest the same as the 2018 version just in a smaller size. And if not was is the difference between the 300, 400 and the new 100,200

[@laserfinn]

Very informative video...my only question is does this reel incorporate a synchronised levelwind mechanism?

[@logicalrationalfishing7481]

Yeah I wondered the same.

[@Kelberi]

Your question is 30 years late. 😏

[@putupuguh9281]

I like reel simano 🙏🙏🙏

[@eugenejohnson8635]

Do Shimano make a reel in the Calcutta conquest 50 dc I thought I seen one on KZbin channel

[@donndavis142]

My conquest 201has the smoothest of all my reels

[@frantyf]

Nice infoman !!! I'm keen on buying the new 100 size for mid Swimbaits (max 3oz) I don't need cast long distance so I don't need a lot of capacity. Do you think 100 size would works ? I like so much those 220grams....

[@carlospalomino6928]

i would think the 200 size is better no swimbait guy is throwing 100 sized reels cause of the gears and just no i would get the 200 just saying and plus if you wanna bomb a bait you will have little line capacity

[@frantyf]

@@carlospalomino6928 just brcause anyone is using 100 size doesn't mean that it can't do the job as good as 200 size...

[@vash347]

Hello, is the size of the body on the 100 and 200 the same? I want to get one but I can't decide which due to size. I'd rather have the 200 since I fish inshore but I want the 100 size to fish lightgear for trout

[@poordave9102]

sold!!

[@thatonebeone]

i have a Calcutta Conquest 20HG DC love it.. thinking of a 300 size ..you think DC helps on 300+ size? dont really see a 300 size DC not sure if if would even make sense on 300+ sizes since its uses bigger heavy lures more easy to control unlike a 100 , 200 where you use smaller weight lures where a DC can help

[@DentisProZamosc]

DC would help controlling lures on the lower weight scale. If you are planning to use bigger heavier lures there is no point getting DC

[@thatonebeone]

@@DentisProZamosc correct.. i love the sound lol.. i leave mine on setting 1 all the time since i use 3/8 + size lures mostly..cast far and smooth too

[@kevinzap.fishing]

Are they gonna come out with an updated 3/400 size for us big swimbait fisherman

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

Not that I have heard.

[@michaelp1774]

I have the Shimano Calcutta CT 50

[@DentisProZamosc]

Thanks for the video. Do you think this reel can throw 10oz swimbait?

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

I would want a larger reel for a bait that size. The power and torque of the reel isn't the issue... The line capacity would be the problem.

[@lagunadrifter]

I am very interested in these reels! Is the diameter of the 100 and the 200 size reels palming side plates the same? I think I understand the size difference to be in the width of each reels spool. Is that correct?

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

I have never held the 100 so I couldn't honestly say with certainty. Sorry!

[@12askalHarry]

Give us an updated shimano baitrunner and the thunnus

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

Not sure if they are slated to be redone or not. I'm sure they will eventually

[@12askalHarry]

@@JPDeRoseOutdoors I hope so I have 6 of them they are a sleeper

[@alexandergrey5913]

What about hitting it hard with 6oz min on the beach looking to 150yrd + ??

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

You may want a 400 size for extra line capacity

[@yoloomis]

I was under the impression that there was a 6.8:1 gear ratio

[@juniorcompton9152]

Model number?

[@rattusrodney]

abu 5500cs is all anyone needs. that's if they know how to fish. And it's not pimpy gold.

[@wookaiyan9832]

I hate shimano bcus they make me wanna buy them all

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

😂

[@wookaiyan9832]
