The Shimano Calcutta D series certainly has the bling factor in its favour. Not only do these reels look the part, but they come with features that set them apart from other round baitcasters. There’s X Ship, Hagane Body, 4 SA-RB bearings and 1 roller bearing, Super Free Spool and Variable Braking System (VBS) for sweeter casting, while the powerful Cross Carbon Drag delivers more fish stopping power.
