Calcutta 400b is the most useful saltwater reel I've ever owned. Got a bunch of 'em. Put 20 lb fused fireline on it, tie a bimini then uniknot it to 40lb fluoro leader and you'll never look back. My experience with low profile reels with disengaging level winds was very disappointing. The drag performance, at least with fireline, is way better on the Calcutta because the line comes off straight.
