Super User Fishes in trees Posted February 3, 2011 Super User Posted February 3, 2011 I've got a couple of the Shimano Calais reel that are 6 or 8 years old now. Very good reels. I've got 5 of the Shimano 200 TEGT Calcutta reels. They are 6 or 8 years old as well. I like them better than the Calais. I have several Curado reels. They are ok reels. Should a bait casting reel not say Shimano on it, I probably won't buy it, so I don't know about any other brands of reels. Quote

0119 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 B Dozer, 1600 size abu's were small, like a Calcutta 50. International Series models were unique Abu's that were updated with instant anti reverse, all made in Sweden and smooth strong reels. Quote

I googled it and found another forum you are on! Seems like we are in the minority that like round reels. Just have a better feel to me. Quote
