Description
The Shimano Calcutta D series definitely boasts a stylish appeal. These reels not only appear attractive but also include features that distinguish them from other round baitcasters. The The Shimano Calcutta D features a Hagane Body, four SA-RB bearings along with one roller bearing, Super Free Spool, and Variable Braking System (VBS) for enhanced casting, while the strong Cross Carbon Drag provides increased fish stopping power.
Features / Technology
Hagane Body
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.
X-Ship
Dual supported pinion gear enhances cranking strength with heavy loads and minimizes friction on the spool, resulting in better casting efficiency.
X-Drag
This is a fresh feature that entails repositioning the handle nearer to the reel body for enhanced cranking leverage, stability, and torque. This reduces lateral tilt during cranking.
