Shimano Caius 150A And Eclipse Baitcasting Combo 5ft 6in 2-5kg 2pc

Enjoy a smooth transition to baitcasting

The Shimano Caius 150A and Eclipse Baitcasting
Combo gives you the ideal balance between quality and
value, making it a perfect set up to get you into baitcasting.

The Reel
The Shimano Caius 150A Low Profile Baitcaster Reel
is a compact and durable bait casting reel, designed with light
weight lure casting in mind. Reducing the size of the new Caius
from 200 to 150, and upgrading the braking system, means this reel
casts much easier with more accuracy. It’s a great starting point
if you’re looking to give baitcasting-style reels a go.

HEG
HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate,
and handle-side sideplate. First, Shimano increased the size of the
drive gear and the pinion gear to offer increased leverage and
power. By using a one-piece frame that incorporates the setplate
and adding a one-piece stamped sideplate, Shimano have eliminated
flex in the drivetrain that causes normal gears to bind under
pressure. By eliminating the flex and increasing the leverage, you
get high-speed retrieves that deliver an incredible amount of
torque, while maintaining the smooth, silent retrieve Shimano reels
are famous for.

Variable Brake System
VBS uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in
controlling the cast. The individual brake weights, when turned on,
are forced outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes
most often occur, causing friction that reduces the speed of the
spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure lessens,
allowing the spool to continue spinning. The result is a much more
consistent spool speed that is easier to manage and takes advantage
of the reel’s maximum casting distance. Settings range from zero
weights turned on for true freespool and up to 6 weights turned on
for extremely windy conditions and maximum cast control.

The Rod
The Shimano Eclipse Baitcast Rod is made
especially for newcomers to the world of baitcasting. Thanks to its
sturdy graphite construction, you can keep fishing without worrying
about breaking your rod. The Shimano Eclipse Baitcast
Rod has a simple design that’s easy to use and easy on the
budget.

Durable and user-friendly
This rod features a powerful butt and mid-section designed to
absorb the pressures of repeated use. Grip the rod comfortably as
your hands fit snugly on its ergonomic Eva grips. Now you can
refine your skills and fish to your heart’s content!

Clear Glass Tip
No more worrying about getting your line all tangled! This rod has
a clear glass tip that lets you see your line clearly and prevent
tangling. It’s seamlessly integrated with the rest of the blank for
added strength and durability. Plus, the glass tip design adds to
the rod’s bite sensitivity.
