Big Fish - that 6500 TCST is a C4 with the 5.3-1 instead of 6.3-1 gear ratio (better for bass IMO) and it comes stock with the power handle for less money than the 6500C4 out of the box. All you need to do with this reel is add a set of Extreme Smoothie drag washers - roughly 8 bucks - and you have a pretty schweet plug / eeling reel for a bit less than $100... It's not a Calcutta 400 but it's probably 88% as good for less than half the dough... It does need to be stripped and cleaned a little more frequently than the Calcutta
