The spool accelerates up to 30,000 rpm before any braking is engaged.

All you have to do to power it up is to cast it once.

Instead of using centrifugal or magnetic brakes, the reel uses a "smart" (the computer chips) electromagnetic braking system that's powered by the energy from the cast.

Before getting into that, here's a little about the reel, which is BassFan's pick for the Best New Product for 2004. And though we weren't able to spool it, we did cast it ridiculous distances with our thumbs nowhere near the spool - which was pretty cool, but the reel has more fishing ramifications than just long casts. But when they tell you they can do that without their thumb on the spool and with no possibility of a backlash, you wonder if they've been hitting the complementary cocktails too hard (they weren't).īassFan staffers were a couple of the lucky few folks Shimano let try the reel, named the Calcutta TE DC (for Total Efficiency Digital Control). When someone tells you they can spool a baitcaster on a cast, In fact, it sounded so good we wondered whether it could possibly be true. We had a feeling that whatever they were going to say was going to be good, and it was. They're grinning like they both just swallowed canaries. The other guy, reels product manager Jeremy Sweet, is holding a small, round piece of circuit board that has computer chips and coils of copper wire on it.

One, Shimano's PR man John Mazurkiewicz, is holding a new, seriously-engineered-looking baitcaster.

#I've been usin a Leatherman and a can of Inox to maintain them and this team has been working very well.No rust after about two years of regular use in salt and freshwater.I know this is not a very long time but this is the duration I've used this combination.Dunno if they are suitable for biteies as they are not a very long unit,And ya don't wanna get to close to the dentures on Macks and Wahoo.Also pretty pricey but ya get what ya pay for.They are a multitool with a number of applications which comes in handy in some surprising situations.My Leatherman has saved a couple of trips for me and I won't go fishin without it.I think all pliers/Mulittools will rust in time if neglected and not maintained.Same as with anything,Look after it and it'll look after you.Specific tools for specific jobs can't be beaten,Long handled pliers for releasing fish,Wire cutters for cutting wire etc.This will mean alot of excess stuff/weight to carry and more to maintain and keep track of.Most of my fishin is from a kayak and this is why I chose a mulittool.Lightweight and everthing at ya finger tips.In the past I've also used a Gerber multi which rusted after two freshwater trips and was returned for a full refund,And a SOG (Special operations group) Paratool which is also a multi and I'd recommend you look at if you think a mulit will suit your needs.Shoppin for fishin gear is great fun ain't it.Good luck.So we're at the ICAST show, and these two guys come up to us at the opening reception.
