Shimano® Calais Casting Reel

  • 10 A-RB ball bearings
  • Ultra-smooth Dartainium Drag
  • Lo-Mass drilled spool system (except CL200ASV)
  • Super Stopper
  • Variable Brake System (VBS)
With a host of performance-enhancing features, the Calais is sure to be the reel you reach for every time you get to the lake. The A-RB® bearing construction concentrates the rust-resistant chromium component of the stainless steel at the surface of the bearing for added corrosion resistance. Delivers super smooth retrieves, thanks to 10 ball bearings and one roller bearing. The new tapered, titanium-plated levelwind decreases friction even further. Greaseless spool-support bearings. Each has a one-piece aluminum frame with aluminum side plates for lightweight dependability. The Calais puts you in complete control with Shimano’s Variable Brake System™ which uses six adjustable brake weights that you can adjust to fine-tune spool speed to your casting preference. The Dartainium® drag is Shimano’s smoothest ever, while the Super Stopper® one-way roller bearing permits zero handle back play.

Fantastic Reel
Date:
I have had this reel for three years of serious Northern and Bass fishing. Still the best casting distance with the least amount of effort. The drag is perfect even with 30+lbs of fish on the other end. With a little care this reel should outlast me!

extremely smooth operator
Date:
i bought this reel last year because i wanted to actually see if expensive is better. i wasn't disappointed as i was always very impressed by the quality of Shimano and this reel is no exception. this reel is very smooth and easy to throw, fits my palm very nicely, and i always liked the handle setup on shimano reels. it's a bit on the heavy side for such an expensive reel, but if you have the application for it, you'll not find a smoother reel on the market. i'm using it for heavy crankbaits (4.7:1 as i specifically wanted a low ratio reel) on a 7 ft crankin' rod so the heavier weight is a better balance for me. if you're going to spend top dollar for a baitcaster you will not be disappointed with this one.
