Shimano - Calcutta TE Digital Control - Round Baitcasting Reels

Shimano has a big step in cast control technology. This is the first self-energizing Digital Braking "smart" baitcasting feature. With this technology, each of the 8 pre-programmed braking patterns provide awesome control of the feeding of the line by applying the ideal amount of braking force at critical intervals. As a result you can achieve long, accurate casts with consistent backlash control. The application of the "smart" braking by the Digital Control System quickly stabilizes the spool rotation. Digital Control varies the amount of braking force depending on line tension, minimizing the chance of the dreaded backlash. The increased RPM's provided ensures longer casts. The pre-programmed braking patterns allow for not only easy, external adjustment for any situation, but also an extremely manageable cast with less backlash.
