Thanks, Mike...I appreciate your comments on the choices & your thoughts on the various reels. If I elect to go with one of the Abu models, I'll definitely add power handle & smoothy washers...I've been reading some comentary in the forums about the Abu drag system (achilles heel, it seems) and I'd already concluded changes were necessary.
I don't know the Shimano at all but the price range for the Penn 975 was a stretch to start with, the Calcutta might snap the pocket book strings...but I'll take a look at it on the Shimano web page...
Thanks again,
