CALCUTTA Cold Forged Aluminum Frame, Sideplates and Spool provide the strongest, tightest tolerances for excellent smoothness and legendary durability. A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. Variable Brake System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability. Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets. Assist Stopper is a back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability (not available on 50 or 100 sizes). Dartainium Drag material provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. Quick Take Down by unscrewing the 3 thumb screws the sideplate can be easily removed for maintenance or to adjust the VBS brake weights (2 screws on CT50B). Septon this handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet. Easy Access Sideplate by using a single thumbscrew, the angler can open the sideplate and adjust the VBS without having to remove the spool from the reel (100 and 200 sizes only). Lo-Mass Drilled Spool System reduces the weight of the spool by drilling, and lowers start-up inertia for more manageable casts (CT200GTB only). Drilled Crossbar reduces the overall weight of the reel (CT200GTB only). Clicker increases tension on freespool and activates a clicking alarm when a fish bites (400 & 700 sizes only). 3-Position Power Grip this Septon coated handle grip allows for 3 different hand positions fore various fishing techniques (CT400BSV, CT700B & CT700BSV only). SV Power Paddles are the largest of the paddle grips and provide extra fish fighting power when battling feisty inshore species (CT400B only). Non-Levelwind Version the CT400BSV and CT700BSV are designed without levelwind systems to enhance line control when fishing in live bait situations. Manual Return Clutch Lever the CT700B and CT700BSV are designed with a manual return clutch lever for better line control in live bait or drop back situations. Non-Disengaging Levelwind System allows the levelwind to track back and forth during the cast which reduces drastic line angles that cause unwanted friction and backlashes on wide-spool reels (CT400B and CT700B only). Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
