Built Like a Tank, Fished Like a Legend

The Shimano Calcutta B series represents the gold standard in round baitcasting reels for serious inshore and offshore anglers. Combining precision engineering with unmatched durability, both the Calcutta 400B and 700B deliver smooth, reliable performance season after season.

The 700B steps up with additional line capacity and torque, purpose-built for offshore duty, whether you're targeting grouper on structure, soaking baits for tarpon, or casting to surface-feeding tuna.
