baluga Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 .. and I thought I'm done looking into buying reels... Calcutta D is on the market on August Quote
0119 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Big price increase. No anodizing, some proprietary clear coating. Nothing smaller tban the 200 size. All sad news to me. Quote

Capt.Bob Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 hope they continue to make the B. Alot of great updates on the D, but I love my 400B's for Muskie. Quote
baluga Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 I like the color and the weight reduction from the previous version plus the smaller profile. Only downside is the plastic line guide. I hope they would release the 100 and 50 size model soon... Quote
OK Bass Hunter Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Less bearings than the TE series and pricier. I love the Calcutta's but I'm not so sure about these new ones. Quote
0119 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Perhaps a new Cardiff will arise that will fill the mid priced round reel market the Calcutta is leaving. Surely Shimano is leaving something under wraps for ICAST and not spilling all their beans. Quote
baluga Posted June 22, 2012 Author Posted June 22, 2012 I'd like to see the GT version of this new Calcutta D. That will definitely going to be a sweet reel! Quote
