I use the Calcutta CT200B and the CT400 for inshore fishing. I like the 200 for trout and smaller reds but I feel that it is too small to hold up to larger reds and jacks over time. The 400 handles all size reds (15 - 30lbs) and jacks (15 - 25 lbs) with no problem. But due to the size and weight, it hurts my wrist to cast for long periods. I saw where Calcutta makes a CT300D reel. I have not been able to locate anyone that carries that reel in my area so that I can see how if feels. Does anyone have any experience with the CT300D reel and how do you compare it to the B series (200 or 400). Based on the reel stats, it looks like it would be a great reel that can handle the bigger fish and not wear me out casting it all day.
