Скачать или смотреть Shimano Calcutta Conquest 201 Unboxing & Field Test | Trying a Baitcaster for the First Time

🎣 Hi guys, and welcome back to another video!
Today I’m doing something completely new - I’m trying a baitcaster for the very first time , and I’m unboxing a reel I’ve dreamed of owning: the Shimano Calcutta Conquest 201 .

This baitcaster has been on my desk for weeks, and now I couldn’t wait any longer. In this video, I’ll unbox it, compare it to the reel I usually use, go through the standout differences, and then take it outside for my first ever casting test with a baitcaster.

As a complete beginner with baitcasters, I was nervous to see whether I’d instantly backlash the new line… and yes, we had some funny situations, including my first bird nest , adjusting the settings, and even losing one of my handmade fishing lures in the process. But that’s part of the learning journey!

If you’re also new to baitcasters or thinking about switching from spinning reels, feel free to follow along with my progress. I’ll be sharing my honest first impressions and everything I learn along the way.
