Had a 7001 Abu and didn't like it. Felt clunky on the rod. Now wishing I hadn't sold it?.

Still waiting on parts for my Record 61 at Surfland, and may pick up a second one.

Definitely going to look at the Daiwa Saltist. And maybe the Avet.

Shimano 400 TE is $200.... 401 TE is $300.... pisses me off on principle.

Going to go righty today and use a narrow spool Big Game reel I got from Cowhunter

Where can I get the TE400 for $200?

Don't be fooled into mislabeling. TE is laser etched and not put on with a sticker.
These reels are different animals all together for what it is worth the extra $$ for the TE is well worth it.

Now the original Calcutta 400 and 401 had a 50-70$ price difference and the original 401 was short lived because of this. kinda hard to pick up the 401 @ 299 and look at the abu's 5501 and 6501 for 89-119 and think..
Then came the Corsair <--- Junk for large fish.
Shimano listened and included the lefty 401 in the TE series.
