Shimano Round Baitcasting Reels

dependability and long-term value

Round baitcasting reels have been around from the beginning. When the Shimano Calcutta was introduced it changed the playing field and Shimano has continued to focus on how to make better round reels with the development of many innovative features.

Calcutta TE DC

The original Digital Control reel delivers longer casts with less backlash. The Calcutta TE DC is a “smart” baitcasting reel that uses eight different pre-programmed braking patterns. It gives you longer casts and fewer backlashes, requires less effort and it’s quick and easy to adjust. The first of the Shimano Round Baitcasting Reels to use digital control.

Calcutta TE 400LJV

TE stands for Total Efficiency, delivered by High Efficiency Gearing and Super Free. But what it also describes is how well it moves the fish. The Calcutta TE 400LJV is part of the Shimano Round Baitcasting Reels Lucanus system.

Calcutta TE

The Calcutta TE series of reels is, simply put, one of the finest examples of design and construction you will ever hold in your hand. Crafted with a machined aluminum frame, and featuring Shimano’s best technological advances, the Calcutta TE exudes quality. Tolerances and play are minimized to the point where you won’t notice them now-or years from now. This is more than an excellent fishing reel, it’s an heirloom.

Calcutta B

The Calcutta series of reels represents the core of Shimano’s quality, versatility, dependability and long-term value. In sizes from the ultralight 50 to the 30# class 700, there’s a Calcutta reel for almost any application, in fresh or saltwater. With Dartanium Drag, A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings), and Super Stopper, the Calcutta will give you years of solid performance.

CARDIFF

The Cardiff A appeal to the frugal angler, with its 4 A-RB bearings, high gear ratio and many other features. The Shimano Round Baitcasting Reels value-for-money reel. Wait no longer, before they are gone.

Calcutta Conquest

The Calcutta Conquest is one of the more powerful and outstanding round-shaped, mid-sized multipliers in the Calcutta stable. Built around a solid forged Duralumin frame and a corrosion resistant finish, it is drilled for lightness to achieve that ultra cool look. The 300/400 are bigger versions that are ideal for targeting bigger, stronger species of saltwater fish that are not as common in freshwater.

Calcutta Conquest DC

Shimano Round Baitcasting Reels has taken the next step in cast control technology. Introducing the revolutionary Digital Control system. This is the first self-energizing Digital Braking “smart” baitcasting feature. It features 8 different pre-programmed braking patterns based on lure and casting type. With this technology, each of the 8 pre-programmed braking patterns provide awesome control of the feeding of the line by applying the ideal amount of braking force at critical intervals. As a result, it is possible to achieve long, accurate casts with consistent backlash control.
