SHIMANO 25 Ocea Conquest CT 200MG

The Ocea Conquest CT is equipped with a digital counter and fall lever on a sturdy and smooth drive system with a high-precision metal body and micro-module gears, realizing advanced strategies and their reproducibility. The new model is equipped with a new fall lever and infinity drive that does not make winding heavy even when tension is applied, and the lightness and sensitivity of winding are further improved. In addition, the new line counter with a wider viewing angle is equipped with a winding distance alarm to support more precise strategies. Of course, the ironclad toughness that Ocea Conquest has built up, such as the durability provided by the high-durability clutch and highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel parts, and the waterproof performance by X-PROTECT, is fully followed. The specifications, which have been improved in every detail, such as ease of palming and ease of viewing the counter, meet the expectations of offshore anglers. In addition, the MG model, which was previously introduced in the 300 size, has been added to the 200 size, making it a lineup that can be used more widely in tairaba games.

A blissful winding sensation that turns even the toughest attacks and defenses into pleasure

The new Ocea Conquest CT has further upgraded its signature smooth and powerful winding feel. The secret lies in three technologies: micro module gear, infinity drive, and HAGANE body. The micro module gear, which was also installed in the previous model, is a precise drive system that improves smooth winding feel and power by closely meshing ultra-small precision gears. The new model combines this gear with infinity drive to dramatically reduce rotational resistance. By eliminating noise, it is possible to sense information such as water flow changes and fish bites more sensitively. In addition, the precision housing of the HAGANE body that wraps this gear suppresses distortion of the main body and firmly protects the gear meshing. Combined with the new design that brings the handle position closer to the reel body, the power put into the handle is transmitted to the gear without loss. It's not just silky, it's not just powerful. The blissful rotation feel of the Ocea Conquest CT will turn even the harsh offensive and defensive battles of the deep range into pleasure.

Equipped with new functions. The forefront of line counters

As many anglers have already experienced, since the introduction of counters to offshore lure games, underwater strategies such as jigging and tairaba have changed dramatically. Previously, water depth, which was often vague, can now be accurately grasped numerically, and even in situations and targets with severe ranges, the previous game of relying on intuition has progressed to a logical strategy. Information sharing with fellow boatmen and the captain has become more specific and accurate, and the reproducibility of hit patterns has increased to an unlimited extent, which is undoubtedly the benefit of the digital counter. The new line counter installed on this Ocea Conquest CT adds a winding distance alarm to the conventional functions. You can now know the winding distance from the bottom without staring at the counter, and it is now possible to repeatedly and efficiently trace the required range. Whether it's light jigging, mid-deep sea, or dotera tairaba, the line counter has now become an essential piece of equipment for offshore double-axis reels. The forefront of its evolution is here.

The winding distance alarm supports a streamlined approach

The newly installed winding distance alarm is a new function that detects the winding distance without looking at the water depth display on the counter. Measurement begins from the moment the clutch is turned on and winding begins. A sound is emitted up to three times at multiples of the set distance, allowing the angler to grasp the winding distance by sound without looking at the counter. For example, when set to 5m (A-5), a notification sound is emitted three times every 5m from the bottom to 15m, informing the angler of the winding distance. This function allows the captain to make intuitive judgments by hearing instructions such as "From XXm to XXm of water depth" and "Raise XXm when it hits the bottom" without looking at the counter. A new function is installed to increase concentration on the specified depth more than ever when winding from the bottom.

The counter is tilted to improve the viewing angle

The new line counter of the OCEA CONQUEST CT has a display screen that is tilted 5 degrees forward from the previous model to improve the viewing angle. While improving the viewing angle during fishing movements where the tip is often lowered, we also pursued palming. It is a small improvement that you would not notice unless you were told, but the difference is clear when compared to actual fishing. Anything that bothers you, no matter how trivial, is thoroughly reviewed. This uncompromising attitude bears fruit in the ease of use of the CONQUEST.

Powerful yet compact. The S compact body fits in the palm of your hand

The width of the body of the NEW OCEA CONQUEST has been made 3mm more compact on the palming side. In addition, like the 22 OCEA CONQUEST 300, the small diameter side plate has been offset to reduce the height, further improving palming. The small and lightweight body fits in the palm of the hand and can be gripped in a natural form, reducing the angler's fatigue even during long fights. The specifications allow you to fully experience the high-quality rotation feel and high winding power of the OCEA CONQUEST. Furthermore, the 200 size has been made 3.9mm more compact on the palming side, and the height from the leg has been made 2.3mm lower profile compared to the 18 OCEA CONQUEST 200. The weight has also been reduced by approximately 30g, greatly reducing the burden on the angler.

Making learning to wind thread easier

The line winding learning function memorizes the relationship between spool rotation and the amount of line wound in the digital counter, and uses this relationship to display the water depth. In addition to the learning function of the conventional model, it is equipped with learning data for PE 1.2/1.5/2/2.5/3, which are frequently used in size 300, and PE 0.8/1/1.2/1.5/2, which are frequently used in size 200.

Regardless of the amount of backing, as long as the specified line is wound up to a position of approximately 1 mm from the outer diameter of the spool, it can be used within a practically sufficient margin of error.

A new handle knob that has been improved to suit the situation

The handle has been improved to be easier to use, with the length and shape optimized for each size. The 300/301MG, which is designed for dotera tairaba, has a 70mm handle and a lightweight CI4+ round knob, improving ease of winding at a constant speed and winding sensitivity. In addition, the shaft diameter has been made 2mm thicker to make it easier to grip when reeling. In addition, the 300/301HG and 300PG, which are designed for light jigging, have a 75mm handle and a new T-shaped knob, making it easier to apply force. The thumb grip and hand fit have been improved, making it even easier to use.

NEW Fall Lever
Ease of operation and winding sensitivity have been improved. New shape and new mechanism NEW fall lever.
The new fall lever has a new shape with a recess on the top surface to improve the fit. It improves operability by allowing for instant, delicate adjustment as needed, and also has a one-way roller bearing inside to maintain light reeling. Even when fall tension is applied, the light reeling feel is not compromised.

High-durability clutch
Shimano's clutch is known for its high durability. The pinion gear has a special surface treatment that further improves durability and salt resistance. The reliability of the clutch is even stronger. The design philosophy of aiming for a reel that can be truly used is alive here.

Highly corrosion-resistant internal parts
We have pursued toughness not only for the main parts but also for each internal part such as the washer. This fully offshore specification rod uses stainless steel with excellent rigidity and corrosion resistance even in the smallest details, and promises a safe and reliable fight.

Level wind linkage
The spool and level wind are linked together. The line is released straight, allowing the tackle to fall smoothly. The drag operates smoothly even during a fight, making it safe to use even when fishing with thin lines.

Line anti-slip pin (size 300 only)
The spool is equipped with a pin to securely hold the PE line in place. This small part eliminates the need for anti-slip tape or nylon line underwinding when starting to wind the line, preventing accidental line slippage.
