Subject: calcutta te 300

I was wondering if any of you have used the 300 te for musky fishing. I have a 400 te and like it but would like to try a smaller one for lighter baits.

The weight /size difference between a 300 & 400TE is barely noticeable. I have been using the Curado 300DSV as my light reel and really enjoy it. I also throw certain bucktails, spinnerbaits, and some smaller lures with the Calcutta 200TE. Good luck.

I have the curado 300 on my jerkbait rod.
My favorite reel is a 250 te DC for downsized baits like spinnerbaits, standard bucktails and shallow raiders etc.
I also have the 400te for an all purpose reel, except no rubber (red Isis, don't care for it) or 10's and larger (for these use trinidad).

I don't have the 300 te, but am considering it myself. I like the lightest gear I can get away with that won't fail when pushed to it's limits, but not to abuse it. Line capacity will be adequate with 80# too. The te has larger gears than other reels in it's class, so it will be able to handle ANY size fish that swims in fresh water.

Just my 02c
