Shimano Calcutta 201D Baitcaster

Widely regarded as the strongest and most reliable small high-speed baitcaster.

This is a small baitcaster but best suited for the bass lure angler using larger rods like the 9-10FT baitcasting rods or when pursuing large bass off a boat. Not really suitable for little shore baitcasters as the spool capacity is large and you need to unscrew the cover to change the brakes.
