My saltwater-used Calcutta have been destroyed. I rank them as one of the most overpriced reels around. They are butter when new but once they go, they are gone. They anodize some of the key parts and THEN finish them so sometimes a whole face is completely exposed to salt that starts to pit them out.

I agree with Parker than ReelX and Cal's are both awesome shtuff!

Small wood poker sticks are another crucial piece of a kit.
