Lucas Peake –
I’ve used the Calcutta D 400 for several seasons now. The X-Ship system gives excellent freespool, and the compact body feels balanced in my hand. It handles heavy cranks well and holds up in saltwater without showing signs of wear.
Brandon Rees –
Switched from an older model to the Calcutta D 300. The design is more ergonomic and the reel feels solid under pressure. Great for both trout and bass fishing in lakes and rivers.
Kevin Taylor –
The Calcutta D performs well in cranking situations. The body is lighter than expected and the drag system is smooth. Minor improvement in line tension could be made, but overall it’s a solid choice.
