Shimano Calcutta B Conventional Reel
The newest incarnation of this popular conventional features a sleek, one-piece forged aluminum frame, a recessed reel seat which mounts close to the rod, aluminum spools, a variable brake system, and Shimano's "Super Stopper" one way anti-reverse system. Both the Calcutta 400 and 700 Series models are available in either level wind (for baitfishing and live-lining control), or non-levelwind open spool BSV version (for casting applications).
