Shimano Catala reels are highly reliable fishing tackle that can't be beat

The features of a Shimano Catala reel are ones that will amaze and astound you. These reels perform beyond the expectations of those who first use them. The Catala 200, 300 and 400 is made of a die-cast one-piece aluminum frame, with four bearings for smooth casts and retrieves. The 5.2:1 gear ratio will gives anglers the power to land big fish, with a spool diameter large enough to quickly recover line at each turn of the handle.

The Shimano Catala comes equipped with the new Variable Brake System to minimize over-runs, as well as a clutch bar that allows your thumb to be on the spool at all times for better control. Matched with a Super Stopper roller bearing for instant hook-sets, and you get the Shimano Catala reel, great all around fishing tackle for the demanding angler who wants the best.

How do the variable brake system and the super stopper make Shimano Catala reels the best baitcasters of all time? A variable brake system allows for the individual set-up of brake weights so the angler can control the amount of resistance he/she applies to the spool during a cast. The fisher who uses this reel can put on up to six weights for spool resistance at the beginning of the cast, when most backlashes occur.

As the spool slows, the centrifugal force keeps the brakes from applying further pressure to provide added casting distance. This braking feature helps you until you get the feel of the casting technique with your thumb. As you get used to the cast you can turn off individual weights and watch your casting distance soar. The Super Stopper II features a one-way roller bearing that does not allow any back-play in the handle for solid hooksets.

You can't go wrong when baitcasting with a Shimano Catala reel on your rod.
