Shimano Calcutta 200D

This is my absolute favorite real to fish with super smooth and well worth the money

Dude you sold me on the other video that you are hauling monster with this reel. I just got mine today and boy it cast like a dream and very versatile. I tried on lamiglas insane surf 10footer as well plus 4oz of sinker and cast with no issue. I like the drag sound too!

It's the Phenix 82ML M1 series. I also use a Shimano Teremar TMC-X711MBRA. It's a medium action rod and lots of fun to catch calico bass. It even handled a small yellowtail the other day.

I agree! I have the same reel but 201 (lefty) and want to look into some other rods. What is the model of your M1?

[Reelumup]

@timbrado1970 the 301d is a little bigger and I'll usually fish 3/4oz - 2oz lead heads and 5-8 inch plastics on my 300d Calcutta. I'll pair it with an 8ft medium heavy rod like the shimano teramar. Might be a bit big for 10grams. I think with the 300d I'd start at around 30grams. Hope this helps.

@trestim80 I have 2 of the brakes opened to the out position on the opposite sides of each other. If i need to adjust spool speed for bigger or smaller plastic baits then i'll adjust with the side knob. i find that this works for me just fine.

Thinking about getting this for targeting lingcod and cabezon off the rocks in Santa cruz and cali halibut in so cal

Do you think the 301D series will handle the same small softbaits you use in the video? I'm considering buying a callcutta D, but i.m not sure wich one.. i would like to use is for lures from 10 gram up to 100 gram. i hopen you can help me with some info.

thanks.

I fish the 401D for Big Bait in Rügen for big Pike and Zander. Sie cast easy 30cm Svartzonker Shads...top BC.

Just ordered thia reel, now my biggest question is what rod is recommended? I honestly want to use it all around just because i know its a solid reel

[MorrisOutdoors]

How big do the calico bass and those species you catch get? Would you be comfortable pinning a 200 size against small tarpon kno the 15-20lb range, and some snook in the 20in range

[Inshoreangler-psmw]

Yo reelump, sick video dude! I fish SD bay, mostly harbor island and coronado, i was wondering if the 300ctD is similar in size to the old calcutta 250, cuz i'm thinking about buying the 300

[rattusrodney]

does the line guide move back and forth when you cast out..or does it remain stationary?

[Reelumup]

I feel like 1/2oz and 3/4 is fine on this reel. Any heavier I move up to my 300D.

[joeygarcia]

Are you able to throw 1/4 oz jigs with your 200 model? What about 1/8oz jigs what model do you recommend ??? Nice vid

[ericserobyan]

I wanna get a 200d but my only concern is the line capacity. If I spool it with 30lb braid, how much can you fit on there? Im planing on fishing for calicos bonito sheepshead and maybe some small tuna so I'm looking for somehting that can hold like 200yds at least.

[anthonysanchez]

would I have a problem throwing 1/2 oz or 3/4 oz? also how much line you get on there?

[heathschwab]

hey I just got the 200 what size fish is it for. small bass or big bass. well I mean can you use big swim baits or more for just reg baits for bass fishing.

[EinerVonDenen]

Does it work well in saltwater? Or would the Abu Revo series be a better call?

[anthonysanchez]

just wondering how the reel is holding up? been about a year since my last question.

How do you usually leave your breaks set
