Among the conventional baitcasting reels that Shimano offers is the Tiagra 12. It is described as a “true light line reel”, taking its name from the 12-pound test that it was optimized for. Meanwhile, the Tiagra 16 features the Long Range Special drag curve or LRS for short. The LRS is a steep curve that is made so that anglers can maximize the maximum drag settings that this Shimano baitcast reel has. The Tiagra 16 is made from a machined aluminum frame and side plates, a cold forged aluminum spool, an ergonomic power handle, anti-rust bearings, a twin disk drag system and a ratcheting drag lever. This model is recommended and approved for use in saltwater.

Another great Shimano baitcaster is the Talica. The Talica is a two-speed lever drag that allows you to catch your “big fish” effortlessly. The Talica has been well-received by customers and critics alike, and it is not hard to see why. The Talica was created to maximize weight savings while maintaining its strength. So if you are looking for a spool that is light in weight, the Talica is for you. Its High Efficiency Gears make it a class above all the other reels.

Just think of all the huge fish you can hook with the Talica, with grace and no effort. In addition to its high power, the Talica has a smooth drag, and is compact and ergonomic as well. As they say, big (and powerful things) come in small packages.

Shimano reels are also a winner in the round baitcasting reels category. The Calcutta TE DC is touted as their “smart” baitcasting reel. It uses no less than eight braking patters, making it possible for you to have longer casts with fewer backlashes. Other features of the Calcutta TE DC is that is has anti-rust bearings, a lo-mass drilled spool system, an A7075 Aluminum Spool, it has digital control, a dartainium drag, high efficiency gearing, a recessed reel foot, a drilled crossbar, a cold forged handle shank, a rubber handle grip and a clicking drag adjustment.

The Dartanium drag is the smoothest drag that Shimano offers, so that you can handle even the feistiest fish in the water. The high efficiency gears consist of oversized drag and pinion gears, so that you can maneuver that elusive fish. The anti-rust bearings are a great plus because they are the most corrosion resistant as compared to the standard bearings available. This means smoother reel performance from your Shimano baitcaster and increased bearing speed. The Super Free or SF feature of the Calcutta TE DC eliminates friction on the spool shaft as well as keeps the gears and shaft aligned precisely.

With all the advanced features of Shimano baitcasting reels, it is finally possible to look effortlessly graceful while reeling in your biggest catch.
