Shimano Calcutta Reels

[Water Treater]

Thanks for the sound advice. I will try a regular Calcutta 400 reel. I probably bought the wrong reel. The Calcutta 400 CTE version is too tempermental for the type of fishing I do.

Thanks also for explaining why I found it much easier to use a Squidder 145 and not a levelwind Calcutta reel with an 11 foot surf rod. I thought it was just me!
