Shimano Calcutta TE DC Series Round Baitcasting Reels
The original Digital Control reel delivers longer casts with less backlash.
Features: • A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.
• Lo-Mass Drilled Spool System reduces the weight of the spool by drilling, and lowers start-up inertia for more manageable casts. • A7075 Aluminum Spool is extremely strong, so we can use less material for lighter weight, which helps to achieve more manageable freespool. • Super Free (SF) bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased freespool. • Digital Control the first self-energizing system updates the amount of cast control up to 1,000 times per second for the ultimate casting distance and manageability. • High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) is not only the oversized gears, but also includes the setplate and sideplate, which allow for a high speed retrieve while providing unbelievable fish-moving torque. • Large Diameter Super Duralumin Drive Gear increases the durability of the drivetrain. • Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets. • Assist Stopper is a back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability. • Dartainium Drag material provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. • Clicking Drag Adjustment reduces the chance of the drag backing off at light settings while providing the angler a reference point to how much drag they add or reduce by turning the star. • Clicking Cast Control Adjustment allows for more confident adjustability of the friction-based cast control. • Recessed Reel Foot allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability. • Drilled Crossbar reduces the overall weight of the reel. • Septon this handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet (250 size only). • Cold Forged Handle Shank is much stronger than pressed or cast handle for non-flexing durability. • Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability. • Platinum Service Plan by submitting your warranty card, you receive coupons for discounted clean and lubes and priority 48-hour turnaround times from our Satellite Service Centers! • Rubber Handle Grip is comfortable and soft to the touch (not available on 250 size). • Paddle-style grip (except 250, which has PV Power Handles). • PV Power Paddles These oversized paddle grips provide extra power and remain comfortable after a full day of deep cranking (250 size only). • Machined Aluminum Frame • Stamped Aluminum Handle Side Sideplate • Titanium levelwind insert |
