    13 Fishing

    I have heard some good things about their baitcast reels, but has anyone here used one of their spinning reels? Thinking about pulling the trigger on one and giving it a shot. For the price, I wouldn't be out too much if they end up being crap.

    havebt used them but I'm curious to hear how they do. I follow Kalon Johnson on Instagram and he's pro staff. He talked about them some in a podcast I listened to on LAFishBlog

    I had a rod (my own fault it broke) and love it and have the concept c reel. It don't use it much because it's tiny and weightless, but my wife loves it. It's a really good real. I just have large hands so I prefer round reels like calcuttas. Plus, they're a US company.

    W2F has done a couple reviews on their stuff and seems to be legit... I would probably buy some, but I'm basically a revo guy...
    cautiously optimistic

    I'll second that. Calcuttas are freaking bulletproof

    Agreed. I have an ambassadeur and it doesn't hold a candle to the Calcutta

    I've got that exact setup. I use all shimano reels, except my two Daiwa saltist... which I love.
