Shimano Technology Found in Shimano Calcutta Conquest MD Baitcasting Reels:

• MicroModule II - State-of-the-art, gear tooth surface design and MicroModule Gear II, are further advanced through Shimano's exclusive manufacturing technology. The surfaces of the drive gear and pinion gear have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in pursuit of perfection. Further improving smooth gear feeling and reducing sound.
• Hagane Body - A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to it's stiffness and impact resistance. The result? An angler's actions are more efficiently transformed into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.
• Infinity Drive - An advanced version of X-Ship, where the main shaft is supported by a new unique low-friction bushing that significantly decreases frictional resistance. This further delivers exceptionally light winding on the retrieve.
• Silent Tune - By applying slight pressure to the bearing supporting the spool, Silent Tune reduces spool vibration during the cast which results in quieter casting and smoother spool rotation with less play.
• SVS MD Tune - Provides anglers maximum adjustability when tossing large glide baits or paddle tail swimbaits and minimizing backlashes in harsh conditions.
• S3D - S3D Technology utilizes a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminum spool to significantly reduce spool vibration and increase smoothness when casting and retrieving.
• Cross Carbon Drag - Cross Carbon Drag - Allows for a wider range of drag settings, enhanced drag washer durability, and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
• Exciting Drag Sound - A technology which enables a drag sound on a baitcasting reel, without using a rattle/clicker function. Making it easy to judge whether a fish is pulling drag and giving an advantage to the angler.
• S-Compact Body - Allows for all-day comfort and improved fishability by making the palming side plate up to 25% smaller than A side plate.
• X-Protect - By combining a water repellant coating and a specially designed water channeling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without adding weight or sacrificing light rotor rotation.
