A multiplier reel is a reel with a spool that is centred between two side plates.
The drag settings of the spool can be either a star-drag or a lever-drag system.
The free rotating spool provides less friction than fixed spool reels thereby offering
greater casting distance and accuracy. Control of the cast is also an advantage of these
reels since the spool first can be slowed and then stopped when the bait hits the water.
The Shimano Calcutta is one of the most popular multiplier reels.
They have a one-piece forged aluminum frame and features Shimano’s
Super Stopper anti-reverse and VBS System (Variable Brake System)
and a gear ratio varying from 4,7:1 to 5,8:1 making it possible
to find a model that will meet your demands.
