A standout technology is the Variable Brake System (VBS), which uses centrifugal force and weights instead of magnets to control spool acceleration. This design reduces backlash while allowing the spool to spin freely at the end of a cast, enhancing overall casting performance. Paired with Shimano's Super Free Spool system, this reel eliminates friction, enabling smoother and longer casts. To further improve the angling experience, the Caius C features a high-tolerance S3D aluminum spool. This thin-walled design minimizes vibration, ensuring smoother operations and greater casting accuracy. The reel’s durable XT-7 composite body is lightweight yet robust, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of freshwater applications. Anglers will appreciate its accessible price point while benefiting from Shimano’s trusted engineering. With options for right or left-hand retrieve, the Caius C caters to a variety of preferences. Its versatile casting range and line capacity make it ideal for targeting species ranging from smaller freshwater fish to larger gamefish. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned angler, the Shimano Caius C delivers consistent performance and exceptional value for an enhanced fishing experience.
