Calais 200A
  • 10 A-RB® ball bearings
  • Ultra-smooth Dartainium Drag
  • Lo-Mass™ drilled spool system (except CL200ASV)
  • Super Stopper®
  • Variable Brake System (VBS®)
  • Additional Info
    •  Buyer's Guide
    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.

    extremely smooth operator, April 3, 2008
    By anglerjoe from Western MA. angler who likes to fish crankbaits

    "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."

    Great Reel, February 20, 2008
    By FrankSD from San Diego

    "This is the best low profile reel I have ever used. Smooth, lightweight, and easily adjustable. Shimano continues to produce a superior product and continue to offer their high end products in a left hand retrieve which is very important to me."

    Smooth and strong, October 18, 2007
    By Swissbass from Zürich ZH

    "With its 11 bearings it works so smooth...
    The VBS is so fine to adjust. The only thing to critisize is that it takes some time to open the side plate. However it has the strongest gear i ever used. I always had the power to get the fish. Good job Shimano!

    Smooth as Silk, November 23, 2006
    By Fishforlife from Belgrade, MT

    "What a joy to handle and cast. Fit and finish are superb. You won't be disapointed with the 201 Calais, it fits your hand like a glove, casts trouble free. I had to buy a second one because my wife wouldn't give it back after trying it."
