2021 Shimano Reels

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Does anybody happen to know what the internal differences are (aside the obvious DC unit) between the 2020 Calcutta Conquest DC and the 2021 Calcutta Conquest?

Thanks!

The 21 sits a touch lower, has the infinity drive and a 7.4 ratio vs the 6.8 on the 2020 model. Spool weight on the 21 mgl is 13.45g FYI.

Thought you were looking for internal part differences like the 21 having 2 bearings at the base of the drive shaft. If you clicked on view the price list the schematics will come up for you to compare.

Yeah, that is one way to do it. Was hoping someone had the exec summary of the comparison. ;-)

But I think the only difference is indeed the double bearings at the drive shaft.

Thanks again!
