Calcutta TE. Total Efficiency. Unless you've handled one of Shimano's Total Efficiency reels you will not believe how much power you can have with such a high-speed reel. Shimano accomplishes this feat by greatly increasing the size of the main and pinion gears, giving you more leverage when retrieving under a heavy load. But that's not all. Shimano went all the way with these reels, incorporating exclusive features like the super light forged aluminum frame and setplate that are all one piece and a one piece stamped aluminum sideplate to eliminate any flex that could cause gears to bind under load. You can fish these reels with high-test braids and they will stand the strain. Add the Super Free system to eliminate friction on the spool shaft for extra long casts, the Super Stopper instant anti-reverse and the VBS spool brake system to eliminate backlash, the super-smooth Dartanium drags and Shimano's Platinum Service guarantee for a reel that cannot be beat.
