Using Rocketfuel


Shimano Calcutta 400

Six, yes six brake blocks on a click on/click off basis are available to slow the spool.

User friendly? Yes, but at a distance price, so keep the blocks engaged down to four or less. Run on Yellow Rocket Fuel and four blocks engaged will put paid to any over runs. The thumb bar is a little awkward at first but easily gotten used to.

Gear Ratio : 4.7:1
Brakes : Centrifugal – 6 click on/click off
End Tension : Set end float so there is a little lateral movement
Fishing Tune : Yellow Rocket Fuel plus two/four blocks engaged
Pro's : User friendly
Con's : Thumb bar a bit awkward
