| This just may be the best baitcasting reel on the planet. The Calais offers10 BB & 1 RB A-RB® Anti-Rust Bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel bearings for exceptional smoothness and durability. The solid one-piece aluminum frame and aluminum sideplates keep all the moving parts in perfect alignment for a lifetime of smooth, trouble free use. The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear provides maximum distance on the cast with minimum effort. The Calais now features the Low Mass drilled wiffle spool for decreased start-up inertia and more manageable casts. The Shimano VBS braking system lets you perfectly adjust the reel to virtually eliminate backlashes, and the Dartanium drag washers create the smoothest drag yet and unlimited drag settings. All these features come packaged in a beautiful black nickel body that will make this reel your pride and joy. Shimano backs this reel up with their Platinum Service Plan, offering you free clean and lubes with shipping labels guaranteeing you a 48 hour turn-around when you submit the warranty card.
