OK Bass Hunter Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 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? Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 Ouch! Nonetheless , a very fine reel, with a long, long, life expectancy I am sure. Quote
IAY Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 TW has them on preorder at 550-570 on the 100, and 200 model respectively; so same as the MRSP in Japan. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Pre order on TW is 550-570 And apparently someone posted while I was typing. Quote
IAY Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 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... 1 Quote

Super User Raul Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 Hmmm, for that kind of money I would rather get me a Calcutta DC. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 I'll save $100+ and just order from Japan before I drop that coin. Quote
Maico1 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I'll save $100+ and just order from Japan before I drop that coin. I agree go directly to the MotherLand.. Quote

Super User F14A-B Posted July 17, 2014 Super User Posted July 17, 2014 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? Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted July 17, 2014 Super User Posted July 17, 2014 Just to let you guys know - My Birthday happens to be coming up next month.

Super User Tywithay Posted July 17, 2014 Super User Posted July 17, 2014 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. Quote
thehooligan Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 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.... 1 Quote
