Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | IMO, the Calcutta B is no better or worse than a Luna. Both reels will hold up to the avg angler for a while. The issues I have had with the B's that I have owned (3 of them) is all them while fishing the star drag would magically loosen about every hour or two, I have also seen this on other Calcutta B's that others have brought in my boat...go to set the hook...and no drag what so ever due to it coming lose by itself. I have also seen the gears in the B's go pretty quickly when ripping and pulling bigger baits. The Luna's anti-reverse can be blown out in a day of ripping dawgs or fishing in any cold weather. I have had 4 of these reels and have had the anti reverse go out in them as quick as one day or hold up for a weeks worth of fishing. Plus they get really LOUD...I have even had some of them screaming loud on their first trip back from the Daiwa factory after getting fixed and cleaned. I would suggest the TE if you can afford it. |

Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Yes the B's will have a drag loosen over time. Minor if you ask me as nothing breaks. I have made it a habit of checking every hour or so, and don't even think about it anymore. |

Location: Denmark | I have experienced the brake loosing up as well on the Calcutta 400B, pretty stupid feeling to do a hookset with a loose drag. So now i tend to buttom the drag while using my Calcutta. Has anyone tried to change the discs, to find out if that might solve the problem? |
