Shimano Calcutta B
DESCRIPTION
The Calcutta series of reels represents the core of Shimano's quality, versatility, dependability and long-term value. There's a Calcutta reel for almost any application, in fresh or saltwater. With Cross Carbon Drag and A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) the Calcutta will give you years of solid performance.
FEATURES
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
VBS uses centrifugal force, rather than magnets, to aid in controlling the cast. When turned on, the individual brake weights are forced outward at the beginning of the cast — when backlashes most often occur — to create friction that reduces the speed of the spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure with which the brake weights contact the raceway lessens and allows the spool to continue spinning.
A-RB stainless-steel ball bearings are specially treated to drastically increase the corrosion resistance of the bearing. These bearings will last at least 10 times longer than standard stainless-steel ball bearings in high salinity environments.
