My new Bass Pro Summer catalog came and the first page it fell open to was the Shimano Calais with the digital control braking system ($649 - but I won't pay a penny over $639 for a baitcaster
!!).
I remember when these came out a few years ago the promise was huge improvements in casting distance. I've never seen one in person. Has anybody ever tried one? Are they noticeably different from regular Calais?
