Shimano Calcutta D Reels

The new Shimano Calcutta D Reels are poised to be a favorite among bass and striper fishermen for swimbait applications. The original Calcutta reels from Shimano caught on with freshwater bass fishermen who sought a high capacity reel that possessed the strength to handle both big baits and the resulting big fish.

The new Calcutta D reels have been engineered in such a way that allows anglers to palm the reel with comfort. Shimano incorporated a brand new design concept called 'S Compact Body' that shapes the frame of the reel in such a way that the side anglers hold is smaller than the handle side. That engineering affords Shimano to keep the strength in the reel, yet makes it easier to palm.

The new Calcutta D Series Reels also come with Shimano's new X-Drag and X-Ship technology. The X-Drag offers the maximum fighting power possible for the size of the reel. The Calcutta D reels will prove themselves a worthy opponent against any fish. The X-Ship technology provides a smooth free spool that maximizes casting distance.

With the advancements in ergonomics, strength and functionality; the new Calcutta D Series Reels are certain to change the landscape of round reels forever.
