LATEST NEWS ~ 15th April 2024 ~ 16lb 8oz Spring Salmon ~ landed using this Calcutta Conquest on a Abu Garcia "100th Anniversary Rod ~ 11ft". The rod handled the fish with a little power to spare but the reel had no problem at all. The "Star Drag" was so precise and adjustable, with the slightest touch with the thumb, that the Cock fish could run when I let it but put the breaks on to get him under control. Without doubt the best reel I have ever used in 55 years! ps I'm casting 80yds + now 🤫
