Location: Ames, Iowa | Which of these is of higher quality or more expensive? Checked the Shimano site but no link to these reels. I am looking for a left handed reel (ebay), and have seen some of these. I am an Abu man, but I was just looking.

Location: algonquin Illinois | I pretty sure The Catala was the better real of the two. But I think it has been replaced by the corvalus or the cardiff last year. I've fished the catalas for three seasons with out a problem.If you have the extra cash go with the calcutta's. |

Location: minocqua, wi. | you don't want a corsair .... if you are buying something under $100.00, stay with ABU ... the calcutta's are outstanding, but the corsairs might disappoint you. |

Location: IN | I'm curious about the Catala also. I'm looking for something in that 6500c3 price range, but i'd like to have a thumb bar. Any ideas on how the Catala stacks up against the Pflueger Trion 66? |

| EsoxJohnny, Take a look at the Abu 6600SSC3 exactley the same as a C3 except the color and that it has a thumb bar. |

Location: Stevens Point | I baught a catala when they were discontinued last winter. it broke before the season started. I sent it in and they sent me back a corvalus. So I don't think they make the catalas anymore. I like my 6500 CB, it is in the same price ratio of the C3 but I believe it has a higher gear ratio, but it does have the thumbar and clicker. |
