I'm kind of interested in these myself. I have a couple of the old bantam 201 left hands that I guard with my life but they are wearing out.

When shimano quit making those years ago it was the biggest mistake they've ever made.

Now, these calyx reels appear to be patterned after the old bantams in size and a "low profile". They're also predominantly metal which I like. What I don't see though is that they are going to offer it in left hand models.

Huge mistake if they don't!
