Product Description
Shimano Calcutta B Baitcaster Reel
First introduced in the mid-1990s, the Shimano Calcutta B has built a reputation as one of the most reliable and enduring baitcasters on the market. Decades on, it remains a top choice for anglers who value simplicity, strength and proven performance.
Finished with its iconic gold anodised body, the Calcutta B combines classic styling with Shimano’s trusted engineering. The rigid Hagane Body provides excellent strength and durability, ensuring the reel maintains smooth operation and alignment even under load.
Equipped with Shimano’s Variable Braking System (VBS) and Super Free Spool, the Calcutta B delivers consistent and controlled casting performance. These systems work together to reduce backlash and improve casting efficiency, making it suitable for a wide range of lure applications.
The reel features a Cross Carbon Drag system, providing smooth and reliable drag pressure when fighting fish. Combined with Super Stopper and Assist Stopper anti-reverse systems, anglers benefit from instant hook sets and increased control.
Running on three Shielded Anti-Rust Bearings (SA-RB) plus one roller bearing, the Calcutta B offers smooth operation and enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments.
A larger handle with rubberised grips improves comfort and leverage, allowing anglers to maintain control when targeting strong fish. Built to last and trusted across generations, the Shimano Calcutta B remains a benchmark in round baitcaster performance.
