Shimano Caius 150A Low Profile Baitcaster And Vortex Inshore Jig Combo 6ft 6in 6-10kg 1pc

A versatile and dynamic combo

Looking for a compact setup? The Shimano Caius 150A Low
Profile Baitcaster and Vortex Inshore Jig Combo is a
versatile and dynamic pairing. You get the Shimano Caius 150A Low
Profile Baitcaster Reel, which is much reduced in size from the
previous model’s 200, and comes with an upgraded braking system,
giving you better casting and greater accuracy. Plus, you also get
the Vortex Inshore Jig Rod, which features a Power-Carbon blank
specially designed to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip so
as to retain sensitivity from the bite to the fight and also
enhance overall performance without compromise. These features
allow Kiwi anglers to take full advantage of the more traditional
bait fishing techniques including the perfect match for the Shimano
Baitrunner series.

The Reel
The Shimano Caius 150A Low Profile Baitcaster Reel
is a compact and durable bait casting reel, designed with light
weight lure casting in mind. Reducing the size of the new Caius
from 200 to 150, and upgrading the braking system, means this reel
casts much easier with more accuracy. It’s a great starting point
if you’re looking to give baitcasting-style reels a go.

HEG
HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate,
and handle-side sideplate. First, Shimano increased the size of the
drive gear and the pinion gear to offer increased leverage and
power. By using a one-piece frame that incorporates the setplate
and adding a one-piece stamped sideplate, Shimano have eliminated
flex in the drivetrain that causes normal gears to bind under
pressure. By eliminating the flex and increasing the leverage, you
get high-speed retrieves that deliver an incredible amount of
torque, while maintaining the smooth, silent retrieve Shimano reels
are famous for.

Variable Brake System
VBS uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in
controlling the cast. The individual brake weights, when turned on,
are forced outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes
most often occur, causing friction that reduces the speed of the
spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure lessens,
allowing the spool to continue spinning. The result is a much more
consistent spool speed that is easier to manage and takes advantage
of the reel’s maximum casting distance. Settings range from zero
weights turned on for true freespool and up to 6 weights turned on
for extremely windy conditions and maximum cast control.

The Rod
The team at Shimano Fishing NZ have developed a dynamic and
versatile series of rods that has been designed to fit directly in
to the kiwi market. The Shimano Vortex family features a
Power-Carbon blank specially designed to take the knocks, an
integrated glass tip so as to retain sensitivity from the bite to
the fight and also enhance overall performance without compromise.

These features allow Kiwi anglers to take full advantage of the
more traditional bait fishing techniques including the perfect
match for the Shimano Baitrunner series, surfcasting options,
landbased rock fishing, straylining with overhead reels and
deploying baits in to the benthos for hapuku and the like.

The Shimano Vortex rod range has been designed by kiwi fishos
for kiwi fishos – it’s as simple as that!
