Shimano Calcutta TE 200 DC

This reel is in the original box. I am asking $399.00 OBO and I will ship anywhere in the US for free. I do accept PayPal, so you may use a Credit Card if so desired. Warranty registration card and all manuals included. This reel retails for $500.

This is the smoothest casting, most forgiving (meaning no back-lash) reel on the market today. Specs from Shimano listed below, if interested:

•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 reduces the weight of the spool by drilling, and lowers start-up inertia for more manageable casts.

•A7075 Aluminum Spool is extremely strong, so we can use less material for lighter weight, which helps to achieve more manageable freespool.

•Super Free (SF) bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased freespool.

•Digital Control the first self-energizing system updates the amount of cast control up to 1,000 times per second for the ultimate casting distance and manageability.

•High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) 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.

•Large Diameter Super Duralumin Drive Gear increases the durability of the drivetrain.

•Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets.

•Assist Stopper is a back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability.

•Dartainium Drag material provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

•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.

•Recessed Reel Foot allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability.

•Drilled Crossbar reduces the overall weight of the reel.

•Septon this handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet (250 size only).

•Cold Forged Handle Shank is much stronger than pressed or cast handle for non-flexing durability.

•Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.

•Platinum Service Plan by submitting your warranty card, you receive coupons for discounted clean and lubes and priority 48-hour turnaround times from our Satellite Service Centers!

•Rubber Handle Grip is comfortable and soft to the touch (not available on 250 size).

•Paddle-style grip (except 250, which has PV Power Handles).

•PV Power Paddles These oversized paddle grips provide extra power and remain comfortable after a full day of deep cranking (250 size only).

•Machined Aluminum Frame

•Stamped Aluminum Handle Side Sideplate
