Showcasing the same profile as the Caenan and Citica G is brand new addition to the low profile baitcasting lineup called Caius. the first thing anglers will notice on this reel is the bold orange and black finish. I actually like the color combination and it is unlike Shimano to have such an aggressive color pattern on such a mainstream reel. The Caius is good for those that want to start fishing baitcasting reels and comes with a new "Easy Mag II" cast control system which helps prevents backlashes and can be adjusted quickly.
The Caius will be available in a general purpose 6.5:1 retrieve and comes with 3BB + 1RB. This reel makes use of a graphite construction and weighs in at 7.9oz. and will be available in right hand retrieve first starting in September, with lefties to follow in December.
