Product Description
SMOOTH DRAG Calcutta Conquest 300US & 400US Carbon Drag Kit
Upgrade Your Shimano Calcutta Conquest with Superior Stopping Power
Maximize the potential of your Shimano baitcaster with the SMOOTH DRAG Calcutta Conquest 300US & 400US Carbon Drag Kit. Designed specifically for the high-performance demands of trophy fishing, this premium Carbontex upgrade replaces stock drag washers to deliver unmatched smoothness, consistency, and durability.
Whether you are targeting heavy freshwater species or challenging inshore game, this kit eliminates "start-up inertia"—the initial jerkiness that causes line breakage—ensuring a silky-smooth payout of line at any drag setting.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Premium Carbontex Material: Manufactured from high-quality carbon fiber, these washers offer superior heat resistance compared to stock felt or paper washers, preventing drag fade during long, intense battles.
-
Zero Start-Up Inertia: Experience immediate, fluid drag engagement. The material allows the spool to rotate smoothly the instant a fish runs, protecting light lines and improving hook-up ratios.
-
Increased Drag Pressure: When paired with the correct grease, Carbontex washers can significantly increase the maximum drag output of your reel without sacrificing smoothness.
-
Precision Fit: Exact tolerance cutting ensures these washers fit perfectly into the main gear and spool assembly of designated Calcutta Conquest models.
-
Long-Lasting Durability: Resistant to saltwater intrusion and contamination, these washers maintain peak performance longer than OEM alternatives.
Model Compatibility
This drag washer kit is engineered to fit the following Shimano baitcasting reels:
-
Shimano Calcutta Conquest 300US (including 2015/2018 models)
-
Shimano Calcutta Conquest 400US
(Note: Please verify your specific reel generation).
Installation & Maintenance Recommendations
For optimal performance, we strongly recommend applying a light coating of specialized reel drag grease during installation. Dry installation is possible, but greased carbon washers offer the best balance of smoothness and water resistance.
-
Recommended Grease: Deuthlon Power Drag Grease. This high-performance lubricant utilizes "Polarized Technology" to bond to the carbon surface, enhancing drag force by up to 50% while maintaining incredible smoothness.
-
Recommended Oil: Deuthlon Reel Oil (Cast Lube or Ceramic Reel Oil) for bearings and other moving parts during your maintenance service.
