Shimano Calcutta TE 300 and 400 Series Round Review
TE reels combine the Super Free system with High Efficiency Gearing for the ultimate in casting and retrieving performance.

Oversized Dartanium drag, VBS centrifugal brake, Super Stopper, and aluminum frame/spool/side-plates. 5 bearings (4 ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing).
