    Guys,

    I’m looking at picking up a pair of reels for muskie fishing and I’d like to get a pair of Calcuttas. 400B seems to be the model everyone suggests. The issue is I need a lefty retrieve. And you can’t get a Calcutta 400b in a left. You can get a Culcutta CTE401 in a lefty retrieve… but MAN are they proud of those reels. To the tune of $349 a pop at Cabelas. I want a dependable reel but I’m not sure dropping $700 on a pair is the way to go.

    First question… what is the main differences between the B and the TE that justify the nearly $150 price increase?

    So that leads me to the question… knowing I want a left retrieve reel and I want a good reel that will last a long time, what are some good options out there?

    Thanks in advance guys.
