The Caius is a compact, versatile, and durable baitcasting reel, designed with lightweight lure casting in mind. The Super Free Spool improves casting performance and the 6-pin VBS (Variable Braking System) keeps backlash to a minimum with all lure sizes and weights. Redesigned for 2019, the Shimano Caius Baitcasting Reels are perfect for beginners or budget minded anglers. Compact and versatile, the Caius adeptly casts lures in a wide range of sizes and excels at throwing lightweight presentations thanks to Shimano’s Super Free Spool and Variable Braking System (VBS) technologies. VBS Braking uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast, resulting enhanced spool control and fewer backlashes. This braking system features internal adjustment points as well as an external dial for fine tuning your casts on the fly.
