Shimano high-end round shaped bait caster, Calcutta Conquest MD, Monster Drive, offers both the superb casting performances, and super cranking power to catch monsters. This MD models have engaged level winder system, to release line with the least friction at level winder. Its merit is at stable casting performance and no fear of line breaks by line dig-ins, when lines are pulled out hard. The synchro level winder has been sought after by snakehead anglers who want to drop very light frogs onto targeted lotus leaves. They have experienced un-even casting on dis-engaging-level-winder reels from cast to cast by the different positions of level winder. Another merit is that lines will be pulled square without friction to level winder. Conquest MD has SVS MD Tune brake system, which is the combination of 8pt SVS centrifugal brake and out-dial magnet brake system for improved casting performance. Drag system is souped up to hold 8kg pressure, increased by 1kg from previous 2018 model.
