Shimano - Caius Conventional Casting Combo

Built to provide bass anglers with broad-spectrum versatility, the Caius Casting Combo offers the low-profile baitcasting experience anglers should expect from Shimano at an attainable price.

Inside the lightweight and compact body of the updated Shimano Caius C reel are proven technologies like the Variable Brake System (VBS) to apply centrifugal force and weights instead of magnets to temper initial spool acceleration. VBS technology enhances the casting experience by enabling the spool to spin freely until the end of the cast, reducing the chance of a backlash. Shimano Super Free Spool technology within Caius C eliminates distance-robbing friction and improves overall casting performance.

The Caius rod features modern aesthetics, fast action, and medium-heavy power to provide anglers with a versatile combo. A split-grip design and Titanium Oxide Guides prime anglers for on-water performance no matter the fishing technique they choose when chasing bass.

  • Super Free Spool - Super Free Spool eliminates friction on the spool shaft during the cast. Standard baitcasting reels are constructed in a way that when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft. This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast. But baitcasting reels with Super Free Spool are constructed so that the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing. When the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. The result: zero friction is placed upon the spool shaft and enhances casting performance.
  • VBS Baitcasting - VBS uses centrifugal force, rather than magnets, to aid in controlling the cast. When turned on, the individual brake weights are forced outward at the beginning of the cast — when backlashes most often occur — to create friction that reduces the speed of the spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure with which the brake weights contact the raceway lessens and allows the spool to continue spinning.
