Location: Davenport, IA | Anyone used one of these reels? I just ordered one. They are pretty new. They look like a calcutta in the way they are made, and I have heard they are just like a calcutta. There are 3 sizes, the x-150 x-250 and x-400 (they even used shimano #'s and capacities) The gear is 5.1:1 except the x-150 comes in 5.1:1 and 6.2:1 You can see them in the new cabelas spring master catalog. They sound like a good reel, I just hope they are. |

| Looks to be ok Zach; give it a shot and if not to your liking, send it back; try it out in your yard w/ a little line on it maybe. |

| I've been hearing many good things of these reels. I bought to new okuma convector line counters , they seem to be constucted very well. I'll let you know this time next year on how well they hold up.I wish you good luck with your reel and may you boat many muskies with it.
quick draw ,quick draw, I thin the ice is getting thinner
