Mikey Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Its time to upgrade my reels. My old Speed Spools have seen their day worn out. I have my eyes on the Shimano Calcutta 200 (silver color). Its all metal and has been unchanged since 1991. Aynone use them and what do you think of them? Thanks in advance !!!!!!!!! Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 31, 2007 Super User Posted January 31, 2007 I use Calcutta 100's, never had a problem of any type 8-) Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I have a 201, lefty. I have used many calcutta's over the years and love them. When I was looking for a round body for freshwater, I automatically went to the calcutta, but got the wrong size. The 201 is too small for what I wanted to do (swimbaits) A wider spool is neccessary. Great reel, regardless of which size you get. Quote

Super User FishTank Posted February 1, 2007 Super User Posted February 1, 2007 I have a 251 and so far it has been a excellent reel. Quote
Mikey Posted February 1, 2007 Author Posted February 1, 2007 Thanks Guys !! I've handled on and I'm impressed ! I think I've been "scorched" by the "bait monkey. 1991 and no changes I can appreciate that kind of design and all metal on top, Quote
Super User cart7t Posted February 1, 2007 Super User Posted February 1, 2007 They haven't changed the Calcutta's much because they didn't need changing. Fine reels. Quote
