what are you fishing for seawolf?? My 400s have taken many 40lb+ fish in heavy structure, breachways and everything in between? The only place I can see where one may need more capacity is the canal....I have caught fish on my calcuttas with 3oz jigs in a heavy curent in the gallilie chanell...Not one problem. I used to use a 7000 for well over 10 years exclusive, In my opinion the calcutta is far better and With the calcutta I dont have to oil the bearings every other trip or soak the level wind with wd or any of that stuff. Fads come and go yes but, I dont think you can call the calcutta a "here today gone tommorow fad" these reels have earned there place in the suds !

And once again I think we have a thread getting beaten to death...I guess eveyone has there opinion and I think eveyone has a point....all the reels mentioned here have there place and purpose its a matter of taste ...I really cant say anything more on this subject exept that If you ask me what reel to get for 98% of surfcasting duties my answer is the calcutta 400.......
