Baitcasting Reel Reviews

If you are looking for the ultimate in performance and style look no further. The Shimano Calais baitcasting reel easily fits into your hand like a good, make that great, low profile baitcaster should. It is fitted with an aircraft-grade aluminum frame that is loaded with features such as, anti-rust bearings, titanium levelwind insert and dartainium drag for a smoother than normal drag.

The super free bearing supported gear system takes care of any friction between the pinion gear and the spool shaft for an increase in freespool. The spool support bearings are greaseless resulting in more reduction of friction for greater casting efficiency and distance. Couple that with the variable brake system which uses centrifugal force rather than magnets and you have more control over your long distance casts.

The Shimano Calais boasts the super stopper that eliminates backplay for more solid hooksets. The Septon handle assembly is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet. The recessed reel foot allows the reel to sit closer to the rod handle making the whole assembly a comfortable and maneuverable joy to fish.
