ditto the calcutta 400...it's worth it.

i have quite a few reels in that size class including avet sx's, progear 500's, and accurate 270's. our calcutta 400 are our favorites for casting out of all of those.

oh, and my sx's and the progear are magged for casting. the accurate is strictly a bottom fishing trolling reel.

the only downside to the calcutta...it doesnt like sand. we surf fish from ri to nc and are often on the beach. the sx's and the progear don't mind sand so much. the calcutta is more finicky with the sand. good thing about the calcutta though is quick take down with just a coin.

also, cant stand the tiny handle, we change them out to the larger live bait handle, which looks like the calcutta 700 handle.

the calcutta 400 is also almost impossible to blow up.
