Thanx and Happy New Year Gusty.
Wow!
I use to be purrfectly happy w/my Calcutta 201.
Now I can see that I will hafta upgrade to somethin a lil nicer -- Nice lookin reels too.
Do you really think that they are worth the extra $$?
Sincerely,
Roger

Nice pics.
Seems like I've seen that reel before...
So...how does it cast?
Think it's worth the money?
Sincerely,
Roger

How's it cast? Never put line on it  The box it came in is labeled Calcutta XT. All Japanese literature and labeling on box ... has two different cranks, one big, one small. $260 ... a spendy addition to our Shimano Collection (have a Stogie as well) and nearly one of the whole older Bantam line

I caught the part about no water but thought that you might have tried it.
Sounds like quite a collection!
Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Roger

The fishin' Santa didn't drop too much off at my house over the holidays. There was a GI Joes gift certificate that lead to a halibut rod/reel, a 50 pound handscale, a license plate for the new boat (santa actually came in September with an 18' Lund) that read "I saw, I cried, I whined, I got". It's on the boat trailer now.
Santa was nicer to my wife. She has something nice and shiny for her wrist.... and it wasn't a lake troll wrapped up.
