Description

The Shimano 26 Ocea Conquest FT (26オシアコンクエストFT) is a tai-rubber (red seabream jigging) specialist built around spool feel rather than a line counter. Shimano removed the level-wind-linked mechanism used on the rest of the Ocea Conquest range to chase the lowest possible spool inertia, so anglers can read bottom contact through subtle changes in spool rotation even in fast, complex current – useful with lighter tai-rubber heads where rod-tip feel alone falls short.

The spool is a thin-wall, PE-only design sized to PE0.6-200m or PE0.8-150m with no backing needed, built from the same corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy used across the Ocea Conquest line. Braking runs through the FTB brake, which moves the brake unit off the spool for lower inertia and adjusts entirely from an external dial – useful for underhand casts and for tightening up when current makes the line belly out mid-fall. The drivetrain shares the brass Micro Module Gear and X-Ship mechanism with the rest of the range.

Information

The drivetrain

Removing the level-wind-linked mechanism used elsewhere in the Ocea Conquest range chases the lowest possible spool inertia, so bottom contact and bites read through subtle changes in spool rotation even in fast, complex current.

What it's built for

A tairaba specialist built for anglers who read the fall and retrieve by spool feel rather than a line counter, especially with lighter tairaba heads where rod-tip feel alone falls short.

How it fishes

The FTB brake sits off the spool for lower inertia and adjusts entirely from an external dial, useful for underhand casts and for tightening up when current bellies the line out mid-fall. Micro Module Gear and X-Ship keep the retrieve smooth under the brass drivetrain.

Spools and spares

Pairs with a 6-7ft tairaba boat rod, PE0.6-0.8 line with no backing needed, and a fluorocarbon leader around 3-5lb.
