I used to run Calcuttas ... now run Curado's (faster retreive version) as my casting reels in the boat. Both have held up extremely well under lots of use. I switched out simply becasue of the ease of adjustabilty of the centrifugal braking system ... made it much easier to adjust to different people each day with the Curados.

On my rod?? Chronarch Mg ... they are spendy, but they are ever so smooth and lighter to boot.

Abu's for plug rods only on my boat ... line counting is easier, but casting is not quite on par with the Shimanos.
