This reel works perfectly. There is some "boat rash" on the side plate. Features for the Shimano Calcutta Reels include A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) that are 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless bearings, VBS (Variable Brake System) for increased casting control and distance, Cold Forged Aluminum Frame, and Sideplates resulting in the strongest, tightest tolerances for unmatched smoothness and durability and Shimanos Dartainium Drag System providing the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
