The Calcutta TE series of reels is, simply put, one of the finest examples of design and construction you will ever hold in your hand. Crafted with a machined aluminum frame, and featuring Shimano's best technological advances, the Calcutta TE exudes quality. Tolerances and play are minimized to the point where you won't notice them now-or years from now. This is more than an excellent fishing reel, it's an heirloom.
