Shimano Calais 100A
Finesse anglers will enjoy the solid feel and fluid handling of the compact low-profile baitcaster, courtesy of 10 premium stainless steel Anti-Rust Bearings™, flex-free aluminum frame and side-plates, ultralight A7075 aluminum Lo-Mass™ Spool and high Efficiency Gearing™ VBS® cast control uses balanced centrifugal brakes (spare blocks and weights included) for prime accuracy in all conditions. Smooth Dartanium® drag; Super Free™ pinion gear friction elimination; tapered titanium levelwind insert for extra distance; Super Stopper® anti-reverse with Assist Stopper backup; cold-forged handle with ergonomic Septon™ paddle grips.


Shimano Calais 200A or 201A
10 specially selected A-RB™ stainless steel ball bearings turn brute fish mastery into an art form. The 1-pc. Die-cast aluminum frame is matched to a lightweight, A6063 aluminum alloy Lo-Mass™ Spool for precision startup/slowdown with virtually no flex. Internals include High Efficiency Gearing™, the Super Free™ system, VBS® centrifugal cast control and roller-bearing-supported Super Stopper® anti-reverse. Click-set Dartanium® drag; premium Septon™ paddles.


Shimano Calais 200APV or 200ASV
Beefed-up versions of the Calais 200A, designed for extra knockdown power when you need it most. The 200APV is the Power Version, equipped with a lower gear ratio and oversized paddle grips—great for tossing big baits all day and dogging down on lunker fish. The 200ASV is the saltwater version, designed to tame the cruisers of the flats with a deeper, larger-capacity non-drilled spool and the largest, most comfortable paddle grips available.

Line recovery in inches per handle turn.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 25 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great Reel I paired the reel with a Shimano Cumara rod and the the reel is great. Can cast a long distance, very little backlash once I had it adjusted right. Great gear ratio, streamlined and easy to use and cast. Overall it is fantastic. March 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Get what you pay for This reel reminds me of the adage “you get what you pay for”!! I own this model and the prior model that has lasted me over ten years. Both still work like brand new and give me exceptional casting distance and smooth operation. November 10, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Straight Money This reel in my opinion is Shimano's best. I have two chronarchs and until I got this one I thought they were the cat's meow, but this thing is sweet. Worth the money. March 25, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shimano Calais Baitcast 200a My wife bought me a shimano calais 12/22/99 and i am stil useing it I use it 75% of my fishing time. I fish bass touraments and prefish the lakes before each tourament. So 12/22/2010 she order me a second one from BASS PRO SHOPS. The frist one still works fine. I would put its performace a head of al other baitcasters. December 14, 2010

A: 
The reel is fine in saltwater. However it must be cared for properly as any gear used for saltwater angling should be. The clean up process for everything from lures to rods and reels must be done the same day you get off the water. Properly cared for this Shimano will provide years of fishing pleasure for almost all inshore species.
