Get it all with a Shimano Corsair Baitcasting Reel.

The Shimano Corsair baitcasting reel is versatile fishing tackle with a built in level wind. This makes this reel ideal freshwater trolling. It features the added ability to cast and retrieve an array of medium and heavy lures. Every Corsair baitcaster has an aluminum body and wide spool, which makes it perfect for trolling or long range casting. It is lightweight, but durable and will stand up to the most rugged fishing conditions.

The Shimano Corsair baitcasting reel features a 4.7:1 gear ratio and roller bearing, plus two ball bearings and a highly effective star drag system. The variable brake system (VBS) keeps overruns to an absolute minimum. The ergonomic thumb bat spool release allows anglers to have instant casting and quick release when trolling. The Corsair is ideally suited to both mono and braid lines.

This fishing reel fits comfortably in your hand. It has been evaluated by the same stringent standards as other top of the line Shimano models. The Shimano Corsair baitcasting reel has smoothness, functionality and durability built into its design. The variable brake system allows for the individual set-up of brake weights so you can control the amount of resistance applied to the spool during a cast.

As the spool slows, the centrifugal force keeps the brakes from applying further pressure to provide added casting distance. The Super Stopper, the original tight-operation anti-reverse system, has one direction roller bearing to provide solid hook sets by eliminating all handle back play. The added width of the bearing gives the handle shaft more support, contributing to the smooth retrieves and the quality anglers have come to expect.

The Shimano Corsair baitcasting reel is not as expensive as other models. It was was introduced in two models, the 300 and 400. The 400 model was designed for heavy bass fishing and light saltwater use. It came equipped with a clicker for trolling or shiner fishing. The 300 was designed for the bass fishermen who preferred crankbaits and plastic worms. Then Shimano introduced the 200 series of Corasir baitcasting reels. It has the same three bearings as the two other models - positive anti-reverse and a 4.7:1 gear ratio. What is different is that it features a narrower spool and is lighter It is ideal for use on a short rod when tossing spinner baits under the trees.

Whatever model of Shimano Corsair baitcasting reel you choose, you will be pleased with its performance.
