Shimano CL200A Calais Low Profile Baitcasting Reel

A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. Lo-Mass Drilled Spool System (except on CL200ASV) reduces the weight of the spool by drilling, lowering start-up inertia for more manageable casts. A6063 Aluminum Spool (except on CL100A, which is A7075) this aluminum alloy provides extra corrosion resistance versus standard aluminum. Super Free (SF) bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased freespool. Greaseless Spool Support Bearings By using lightweight oil rather than grease, friction is reduced even further for more casting distance and efficiency. Spare Brake Weight Block Holds up to 2 extra brake weights for more adjustability. (available on CL100A only). High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) (available only on CL100A) is not only the oversized gears, but also includes the setplate and sideplate, which allow for a high speed retrieve while providing unbelievable fish-moving torque. Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets. Dartainium Drag material provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. Variable Brake System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability. Titanium Levelwind Insert (CL100A is tapered). Clicking Drag Adjustment reduces the chance of the drag backing off at light settings while providing the angler a reference point to how much drag they add or reduce by turning the star. Clicking Cast Control Adjustment allows for more confident adjustability of the friction-based cast control. Oversized Clicking Cast Control Knob The large size is easy to use, while the clicking adjustment allows for precision settings. Recessed Reel Foot allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability. Quarter Turn Easy Access Sideplate (available only on CL100A) An improvement over the already easy-to-use Turn-Key access, the fisherman flips up the Turn-Key on the sideplate, then rotates it 1/4 turn to open the sideplate for quick VBS adjustments. Turn Key Access Sideplate flip up the easy-to-use turn-key and rotate it to remove the sideplate to adjust the VBS brake weights. Septon This handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet. Reduced Mass VBS hub (CL100A only) reduces the weight of the spool increasing freespool and reducing start up inertia. Cold Forged Handle Shank is much stronger than a pressed or cast handle for non-flexing durability. Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
