A whole new world of possibilities for saltwater fishing!
You have a lot to think about when choosing a new reel. Weight, Drag, Durability, Line Capacity, even a reel's limitations. Shimano has spent countless hours designing a reel that extinguishes most of these so called limitations so that the only obstacle left is, well, yourself. Simply put, all the Calcutta reels were built around possibilities rather than limitations. Calcuttas are built with a forged aluminum frame and feature level wind, Super Stopper clicker and Shimano's Variable Brake System. Advanced reel features make a difference in the heat of battle and Calcutta's are ready for the battle. Shimano's new TE series of baitcast reel take standard Calcutta features one step further. TE stands for ''Total Efficiency'', a concept that represents Shimano's response to the primary challenges of sportfishing, casting and retrieving. For the first time, Shimano has combined their Super Free System and High Efficiency Gearing in a single reel, the TE Series Calcutta. This reel will truly spoil you with its performance!

Comments about Shimano Shimano Calcutta 401 Lefthand Baitcasting Reel:
This is a great multi-purpose reel, i use them for back bay fishing and in shore bottom fishing. Enought back done to pull a taug out a wreck or a stipper out of the rips. Light enough to cast plugges and poppers around the inlets and jetties. An all around great reel, they last for ever, I had 1 of my reels serviced for the 1st time in 15 years this past summer. Still going...
