The Calcutta TE series of reels is, simply put, one of the finest examples of design and construction you will ever hold in your hand. Crafted with a machined aluminum frame, and featuring Shimano#39;s best technological advances, the Calcutta TE exudes quality. Tolerances and play are minimized to the point where you won#39;t notice them now or years from now. This is more than an excellent fishing reel, it#39;s an heirloom.

Comments about Shimano Shimano Calcutta TE Baitcasting Reels:

I have a 401 TE and I use it on river banks for Alaska King salmon. I use 40# mono with no trouble at all. I have other reels but this is my go to reel. I thought it was a little spendy, then after I started to catch fish with it I found it worth the money. I highly recommend this reel.

Comments about Shimano Shimano Calcutta TE Baitcasting Reels:

Great for big pike and lake trout in Cree Lake in Sask. Canada. I bought (2) 400's for casting for pike in the shallow bays (28 lb biggest) and (1) 700 for trolling for big trout (46 lb biggest).The reels held up perfectly. STRONG recommendation !
