Calcutta D

The Shimano Calcutta D series certainly has the bling factor in its favour. Not only do these reels look the part, but they come with features that set them apart from other round baitcasters. There’s X Ship, Hagane Body, 4 SA-RB bearings and 1 roller bearing, Super Free Spool and Variable Braking System (VBS) for sweeter casting, while the powerful Cross Carbon Drag delivers more fish stopping power.

Product Technologies

Hagane Body The HAGANE Body is produced from highrigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.	S ARB Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.	Super Free Spool The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system (SF) was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating friction and limiting the length of the cast. With SF, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, and when the clutch is disengaged the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result is zero friction on the spool shaft for increased freespool.	VBS VBS uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid controlling the cast. The individual brake weights, when turned on, are forced outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes most often occur, causing friction that reduces the speed of the spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure lessens, allowing the spool to continue spinning. The result is a much more consistent spool speed that is easier to manage and takes advantage of the reel’s maximum casting distance.	XShip XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARB roller bearings. This creates more stability.
Cross Carbon Drag This carbon drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.	S Compact Body Compact body design to reduce weight and allow for better grip and leverage while fighting a fish.	X Drag X Drag involves positoning the reel handle closer to the body to increase cranking leverage, rigidity and torque.
