I should have known better because I think the calcutta is crap. I'm about done with Shimano. I have to send my calcutta in at the end of every season for repairs. I have paid more for the repairs than I did for the reel. I have been told that I should rinse them in fresh water after every saltwater use, then told the next year to never rinse them rather coat them with wd40.... both by the same repair person! I will be using the corsair as a backup to the calcutta when it fails again. Oh well..... maybe I'll get $25 worth of satisfaction kicking it around the boat! Thanks for the input.
