Overview – Oh look, a baitcasting reel that says it will limit backlash and be more fishable than the others you’ve tried. Pretty much the same pitch we always get, right? The Shimano Caenan baitcaster make those same promises. A reasonably-priced reel, that the average weekend warrior can use, not fight. I’ve been tempted before, and expect the same result. The Caenan is available in standard 6.3:1 or the higher speed 7.2:1 ratio, right or left-handed. Of course are also several systems with cool names like VBS (variable brake system) and HEG (high efficiency gear) that are supposed to make me not want to throw the reel in the lake after three hours of making up more coarse names with those letters. We’ll see.
