Is the US Calcutta Conquest the same reel as the Japanese Calcutta Conquest?
The name is shared, but the size codes line up only for 200 (CTCNQ200A). Numerical comparison depends on which US values the maker publishes. The page is titled CALCUTTA CONQUEST 100-200 A, but its table lists only CTCNQ200A (right hand) and CTCNQ201A (left hand). It does not say whether the "A" model is the same generation as the Japanese 21 Calcutta Conquest.
Every Calcutta Conquest size: Japan vs US
Each Japanese size with the US SKU that has the same code, or else the US SKU with the same size number (a different gear suffix), and the official values that differ.

"Differs on paper" compares gear ratio, weight, max drag and retrieve per crank after our conversion (gaps within 0.15 oz, 1 lb or 0.6 in count as the same). "Not confirmed" means the official table does not give the value.
Is the Calcutta Conquest cheaper in Japan or in the US?
Shimano Japan lists the Calcutta Conquest at ¥59,600–¥61,900 before consumption tax (checked 2026-10-11). Shimano North America lists the CALCUTTA CONQUEST 100-200 A at $599.99 (its official online store price) (checked 2026-10-11). The answer depends on the exchange rate; we do not convert currencies. The table below shows the yen-per-dollar break-even rate for pairs with both prices.
| JDM size | Japan (excl. tax) | US SKU | US | Japan lower when $1 buys more than |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | ¥61,900 | CTCNQ200A | $599.99 | ¥103.2 |
| 200HG | ¥61,900 | CTCNQ200A (different code) | $599.99 | ¥103.2 |
| 200XG | ¥61,900 | CTCNQ200A (different code) | $599.99 | ¥103.2 |
The Japanese figure excludes Japan's consumption tax (the page says so); the US page shows its price without mentioning tax. Pairs marked "different code" are not the same reel. Prices: Japan list prices are the makers' base prices before consumption tax (Shimano "本体価格", marked 税別; Daiwa "メーカー希望本体価格", marked 税抜). US prices are Shimano North America and Daiwa USA MSRP, or for Shimano baitcasting reels the price on Shimano North America's official online store. Source dates are shown with each record (2026-10-11 or 2026-10-13). We do not convert currencies or add tax. Prices can change; check the current price on the official page.
