The new Shimano Conquest is coming to our shores. It's probably not going to cannibalize sales of the D model Calcutta. Those consumers who liked the old model Calcutta TE's did not buy the Calcutta's and probably ordered the conquest from Japan. Who wants to guess a pricepoint on the reel?

$499 from what I heard

Ouch! Nonetheless , a very fine reel, with a long, long, life expectancy I am sure.

TW has them on preorder at 550-570 on the 100, and 200 model respectively; so same as the MRSP in Japan.

Pre order on TW is 550-570

And apparently someone posted while I was typing.

Ugh ... I fold!

Ugh ... I fold!

You and I both know that you will go to a store that has one. You and I both know that you will ask to try it out. You and I both know that you will succumb to the monkey...

ROF... You very well may be right , that cracked me up!

Hmmm, for that kind of money I would rather get me a Calcutta DC.

I'll save $100+ and just order from Japan before I drop that coin.

Nice link, maico1.... That's a beautiful reel, truly my favorite right now, the lines on it are bold and beautiful. But I don't get the price, are not folks getting these from Japan for a better price?

August 10 for me and I LOVE presents!

The added price comes from import costs and added warranty. You can get them from Japan for more than $100 less than the US msrp.

Nice combo Dwight ^

 

One more here that will just order straight from japan, you save alot of cash. Im really trying to hold out for the 50 series next year, but id love that 101 for crankin....
