NEW Shimano Chronarch Baitcasting Reels	Shimano Chronarch D Series Baitcasting Reel: Shimano really trimmed off the ounces and improved ergonomics with the new D series, representing a major departure from the previous generation. Weight savings is achieved with an all-new aluminum frame and sideplate and an ultra-lightweight spool made from A7075 aluminum. Nothing was sacrificed in the way of power and smoothness; the D series retains the original A-RB® (Anti-Rust Bearings) roller bearing, HEG® (High Efficiency Gearing), SUPER STOPPER® anti-reverse bearings, Super Free (SF®), and VBS® (Variable Brake System).
NEW Curado Low Profile Baitcasting Reel	Shimano Curado Low Profile Baitcasting Reel: Greater comfort means better control. Shimano has enhanced the popular Curado by downsizing the body, upsizing the gearbox, and increasing the bearing count—improvements which add up to a much smaller, lighter reel that’s also smooth, strong, and ergonomically precise. High Efficiency Gearing HEG assures clean, flex-free retrieves even under heavy loads; a shielded S A-RB® ball bearing at the reel’s heart helps maintain performance over the long haul. Rugged aluminum frame with A7075 aluminum Magnumlite® spool; titanium line guide; Super Free™ pinion gear support system; Variable Brake System (VBS®); Super Stopper II with Assist Stopper™; Dartainium® drag. 6+1 bearings.
NEW Citica Low Profile Baitcasting Reel	Shimano Citica Low Profile Baitcasting Reel: A great general-duty reel, now built leaner and meaner than ever. Its compact footprint means the Citica is well-adapted to a wide range of bassin’ techniques, and the three stainless steel ball bearings are shielded to ensure smooth retrieves in all conditions. Ergonomically designed for comfortable palming. Features an aluminum frame with A6063 aluminum Lo Mass® spool; Super Free™ pinion gear support system; Variable Brake System (VBS®); Super Stopper II with Assist Stopper™; Dartainium® drag. 3 ball bearings, plus 1 roller bearing.
Shimano Calais 4x8 DC Baitcasting Reel	Shimano Calais 4x8 DC Baitcasting Reel: The original Digital Control (DC) system Shimano's Calais DC had one pre-programmed braking curve on the internal DC circuit board of the reel, and eight settings along this curve worked by increasing or decreasing the amount of braking force. This was an excellent "all-around" curve, ideal for most bass fishing and inshore applications. However, the original DC system was not ideal for skipping, pitching, and other applications requiring slow spool speeds. To address these slow-speed concerns, Shimano thoroughly analyzed casting mechanisms for various environmental and mechanical conditions. They divided these situations into four different modes and created four profiles to handle each situation. Each mode has 8 different brake-strength settings for 32 brake settings total.
Shimano Calais 100 Baitcasting Reel	Shimano Calais 100 Baitcasting Reel: Finesse anglers will enjoy the solid feel and fluid handling of the compact low-profile baitcaster, courtesy of 10 premium stainless steel Anti-Rust Bearings™, flex-free aluminum frame and side-plates, ultralight A7075 aluminum Lo-Mass™ Spool and high Efficiency Gearing™ VBS® cast control uses balanced centrifugal brakes (spare blocks and weights included) for prime accuracy in all conditions. Smooth Dartanium® drag; Super Free™ pinion gear friction elimination; tapered titanium levelwind insert for extra distance; Super Stopper® anti-reverse with Assist Stopper backup; cold-forged handle with ergonomic Septon™ paddle grips.
Shimano Calcutta B Baitcasting Reel	Shimano Calcutta B Baitcasting Reel: The Calcutta B features quality A-RB® Anti-Rust Bearings to ensure years of smooth, trouble-free performance, higher gear ratios, and easy access to the Variable Brake System (VBS™) for easy cast control. As before, the forged 1-piece aluminum frame with aluminum spool and sideplates makes for a strong, durable, and tight reel, and Septon® handle grips provide maximum comfort. The GT model features an incredibly sweet 8-bearing system, while all others have a 4-bearing system (3 ball + 1 roller bearing); SV models are non-levelwind versions equipped with oversized Power Paddles for total cranking power; 400 and 700 Series reels have clickers.
Calcutta TE DC Round Baitcasting Reel	Shimano Calcutta TE DC Round Baitcasting Reel: Advanced digital circuitry creates the ultimate long-cast, and the patented Super Stopper™ technology helps to reduce backlash!  Can you imagine flipping a shallow stumpfield from 50' away? Or covering a dropoff as long as a football field with just one cast? The revolutionary Calcutta TE DC is here! With 10 precision anti-rust ball bearings, an aircraft-quality A7075 aluminum Lo-Mass™ Drilled Spool, and Super Free™ high-speed gearing, this remarkable reel can exceed 30,000 rpm on the cast. That's 70-75% more spool rotation than conventional cast control systems, which translates to casting distance like you've only dreamed of before -- or the ability to use far less effort when executing a traditional cast. Its water-sealed digital circuit board collects the electromagnetic energy created during freespool, then uses it to power the Digital Braking System as the cast is completed. An external dial lets you select one of 8 pre-programmed braking patterns. With up to 10,000 braking updates per cast, your lure flies smooth and far, with almost no chance of a backlash! Equipped with all the goodies: aluminum frame/side-plates, High Efficiency Gearing™ with oversized Super Duralumin main gear, Super Stopper® instant anti-reverse with Assist Stopper backup, and click-adjustable Dartanium® drag.
Calcutta TE 300/400 Baitcasting Reel	Shimano Calcutta TE 300/400 Baitcasting Reel: TE reels combine the Super Free™ system with High Efficiency Gearing™ for the ultimate in casting and retrieving performance. The 300 and 400 Series add a strategically located (yet out of the way) audible clicker to alert you when a fish bites, plus a full-time levelwind that allows the Calcutta's wide spool to function effortlessly. Oversized Dartanium® drag, VBS® centrifugal brake, Super Stopper®, and aluminum frame/spool/side-plates. 5 bearings (4 ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing).
Calcutta TE 100/200 Baitcasting Reels	Shimano Calcutta TE 100/200 Baitcasting Reel: These baitcast reels are possibly the quietest, most deceptively powerful reels ever produced. 7 bearings make every operation virtually effortless; its High Efficiency Gearing™ is backed by the exclusive Super Free™ pinion gear system and VBS® centrifugal brake for ultimate precision on every cast and retrieve. All-aluminum frame with easy-access aluminum side-plates. GT models have an incredible 11 bearings (10 ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing), plus Shimano's revolutionary Wiffle Spool (its extreme light weight and precision balance system deliver exceptionally long casts) and a powerful cold-forged handle.
