Re: Shimano reels
Not their finest model, Cabela's Web Site $69-79. Didn't find gear material.
"This latest addition to the Shimano baitcaster family shares many of the same great features as its higher-priced cousins. VBS? (Variable Brake System) for exceptional spool control and casting distance. Super Stopper? and Assist Stopper anti-reverse systems. Two-post quick take-down system allows for easy maintenance and adjustment. 400 and 401 models feature non-disengaging levelwind and clicker. Smooth three-bearing drive with one roller bearing in the handle. Die-cast aluminum frame."

CORVALUS
It doesn't matter what you're doing-start with a solid base, and everything you build on it will be better. So we started the Corvalus? with a one-piece diecast aluminum frame that will stand up in battle. Add Super Stopper? anti-reverse for solid hooksets, and our Variable Braking System (VBS?) for easy casts, and there will always be a place for Corvalus? in your armory.
