I've been looking everywhere the last couple days and can't seem to find anyone that sells the Calcutta 401B. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

They don't make a 401B. You have to get a 401TE if you want a left handed calcutta.

Ah, that's probably why I'm having such a hard time finding one! The joys of being a lefty...

I did just talk to a store that had a 401A, maybe that's the ticket?

Thanks

The 401A would be either a Cardiff or a Corsair. I would stay away from the Corsair. The Cardiff's aren't bad reals but they don't really compare to a Calcutta. If you don't want to spend the money on a 401TE look at the Daiwa Luna. They have a left handed model.

I'm going with the TE. I called Shimano and they said the same thing you did about the 401A. There is a guy who sells TE's on eBay for $299 Buy it Now and I've seen him sell them for $269 before.

Thanks for all the advice.

You won't be disappointed with the TE. I have a couple of them and they are my absolute favorite reel.
