New Shimano Fishing Tackle for Spring 2024

Shimano's new fishing tackle offerings for Spring 2024 are developed to enhance angler experience on the water. With the introduction of the Caius C low-profile baitcasting reel, Clarus F casting and spinning rods, and two BT BAIT models (90SS and 90F), anglers can ensure success on the water.

The updated CAIUS C encapsulates the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and attainable pricing. Inside the lightweight, compact body of the CAIUS, anglers will discover a host of proven technologies designed to elevate the fishing experience. The Variable Brake System (VBS) is a standout feature, employing centrifugal force and weights instead of magnets to temper initial spool acceleration. This Innovative design allows the spool to spin freely until the end of the cast, significantly reducing backlash. Paired with CAIUS’ Super Free Spool technology, friction is eliminated, offering a baitcasting experience that redefines overall casting performance.

The Clarus F series boasts all-purpose actions that ride on lightweight carbon blanks, equipped with custom Shimano reel seats and premium cork handles. Designed with all-day comfort and top-notch performance in mind, these rods feature slick and ultra-durable Titanium Oxide guides, completing a package that stands out in the angling world.

The BT BAIT swimbait arrives from its proving grounds in Japan and is now available in both slow-sink and floating models, setting a new standard for light spin or bait finesse system (BFS) anglers. The versatile BT BAIT is 99-mm in length making it an ideal choice for various conditions and applications. It is available in six distinct colors allowing anglers to ‘match the hatch’ and adapt to varying water and light conditions.

A lot of people have slept on the Caius reel over the years - I have three and use them all the time. Can’t wait to get a newer model. The redesign looks awesome!

How is the new caius more than an slx without an aluminum frame? There is absolutely no world where I'm paying $130 for this thing....
