 Calcutta
TE Series
 Shimano has
made a good thing even better with the introduction of the Calcutta TE
series. TE stands for "Total Efficiency", a concept that represents the
ultimate response to the two main challenges of the sport of fishing:
casting and retrieving. For the cast, Variable Braking System VBS allows individual set-up of brake weights so you control the
amount of
resistance applied to the spool during a cast. Easy access side plate with
one screw unlock and
hinged plate makes casting weight adjustment or spool
removal fast and
secure. Once the fish
bites, the High Efficiency
Gears (HEG) take over for an incredibly fluid
and powerful retrieve.
The oversized main and pinion gears give the Calcutta TE more leverage and
power, while achieving
a high gear ratio retrieve that is smooth and effortless. And the TE
oversized main gear allows the
use of a larger-than-ever Dartainium drag, which means more drag surface
for more stopping
power and an incredible range of drag settings. All models have a one-way
handle roller bearing for
Super Stopper instant ant-reverse. On the 200 size and smaller, Super Free Pinion Gear System
virtually eliminates friction against the spool shaft, allowing you to cast
farther with less effort. The
GT models come with a wiffle spool and frame to lighten the overall weight
of reel, also two bearings
in each handle for an even more fluid retrieve. Performance to satisfy even
the most demanding fisherman.

SHIMANO CTE700 CALCUTTA TE 20#/310yds 4.7:1 6BB,1RB
The unique handle grip on the CTE700 was designed
with two main goals in mind: comfort and function. The grip is made with a
soft rubber compound that does not become slippery when wet, allowing the
angler to comfortably maintain his or her grip. The ergonomic contours of this
handle not only allow the angler to grip the handle like a typical barrel grip
for maximum torque, but also enables the user to utilize a two or three finger
grip similar to one on a paddle grip to easily work top water plugs or rapidly
gain line.

Highlights:
 | A RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) (all models execpt 50GT, 51GT, 100GT, 101GT)
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 (only models 50GT, 51GT, 100GT, 101GT, and
200GT) reducing the weight of the spool by drilling lowers start-up inertia
for more manageable casts. |
| Aluminum Spool Super Free (SF) (excluding models 300, 400, 401, 700)
bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion
gear and spool shaft for increased freespool. |
| Variable Brake System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets
to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability. |
| 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. |
| 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 setting and the
smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. |
| Non-Disengaging Levelwind System (only on models 300, 400, 401, 700)
allows the levelwind to track back and forth during the cast which reduces
drastic line angles that cause unwanted friction and backlashes on
wide-spool reels. |
| Recessed Reel Foot (excluding model 700) allows the reel to sit closer
to the rod for comfort and maneuverability. |
| Easy Access Sideplate by using a single thumb screw, the angler can open
the sideplate and adjust the VBS without having to remove the spool from the
reel.
Manual Return Cluch (CTE700 only) |
| Drilled Crossbar (only on models 50GT, 51GT, 100GT, 101GT, 200GT)
reduces the overall weight of the reel. |
| Adjustable Handle Shank (700 size only) allows the angler to use the
handle in the short position for fast retrieves, or the extended position
for more cranking power. |
| CTE Clicker (only on models 300, 400, 401, 700) this clicker button is
recessed into the sideplate for comfort, yet still extremely easy to use.
Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for
increased efficiency and durability. |
| Septon* Handle Grip (on models 300, 400, 401, 700) this handle grip
material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet
Rubber Handle Grips (on models 50GT, 51GT, 100GT, 101GT, 200GT, 200) is
comfortable and soft to the touch. |
| Machined Aluminum Frame |
| Stamped Aluminum Handle Side Sideplate |
| Titanium levelwind insert |
| Rod clamp available on 700 model |
