What do you get when you design a reel with five silky-smooth A-RB bearings, a lightweight, diecast one-piece aluminum frame, Super Stopper anti-reverse and Shimano's VBS braking system? You get a reel you can depend on, day-in and day-out, that will perform beyond your expectations. That's the Cardiff. When Shimano decided to upgrade their reels for 2006, they didn't only put premium parts into their high-end offering but also mainstream products like the Cardiff A. The redesigned Cardiff sits right below the popular Calcutta in Shimano's line of freshwater, round baitcasters, but sports many high-end features, respectable overall performance, and a great price point.
