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.

• 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.
