Product Description
Cast a country mile with Corvalus, Shimano's longest casting reel. You get long casting performance to hit out where the fish are. The Shimano Corvalus Reel's Variable Brake System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability. Reel details: Non-disengaging levelwind system (only on 400 and 401 models) allows the levelwind to track back and forth during the cast which reduces drastic line angles that cause unwanted friction and backlashes on wide-spool reels; Metal frame keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability; Two-post quick take down: By unscrewing the thumb screws the sideplate can be easily removed for maintenance or to adjust the VBS brake weights. Rubber handle grip is comfortable and soft to the touch; Diecast aluminum frame and sides; Clicker (available on models 400 and 401) increases the tension on freespool and activates a clicking alarm when a fish bites; Aluminum spool. Remember, top-notch casting means bigger catches! State Size. Order Today! AVAILABLE SEPARATELY: Right Hand - word search in our Store for 'Shimano'.

25 Pound Blackfin Tuna October 24, 2007
I've been using this reel for the past 8 months to fish for Yellowtail Snapper on several drift-boats down here in Florida. This reel has served me well on many of my outings with very few problems. I've caught a variety of reef fish using this reel and a few pelagic species by mistake including the 25 pounder in the title and the reel still works fine. It only gets three stars because the 2 thumb screws on the side tend to work their way loose while fishing. Sometimes when this happens the spool release becomes stuck requiring you fiddle around with it until you can get it back into position. If a fish happens to strike when it does become stuck you are out of luck. It would be a good idea to keep a flathead screwdriver with you just incase. All in all I can't complain too much about this reel considering that it has managed to land a decent amount of fish for me.
There are drag upgrades available for this reel online if you search for it. I upgraded mine a week ago and have found that I am loosing fewer fish then before because of it. The new drag does take some getting used to though.
