A slick and powerful combo
The Shimano Calcutta 400 Vortex Boat Combo is a
great rod and reel combo matched to give you smooth and fast
performance for straylining. This combo comes with the Calcutta
reel which is known for its durability to stand the pressures of
regular saltwater use. Plus the matching rod is also durable and
sensitive for increased overall performance. So what are you
waiting for? Gear up, get out and get some!
The Reel
The Shimano Calcutta has been a longstanding workhorse in Shimano’s
stable of quality reels. The Shimano Calcutta CT 400B
Reel features an anodised body and spool to stand the
pressures of regular saltwater use. This reel also has a multi-disc
carbon drag which dissipates heat in the drag evenly and exerts
very high drag pressures. It also features a larger style handle
with rubberised grips, Super Stopper, Assist Stopper and runs
smoothly on Shimano’s A-RB Bearings plus one roller bearing.
The Rod
The Shimano Vortex Overhead Rod is a dynamic and
versatile rod that has been designed to fit directly into the Kiwi
lifestyle. This rod 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 Shimano Vortex Overhead Rod has been designed
by kiwi fishos for kiwi fishos – it’s as simple as that!
