Mate!! as far as i'm concerned, these are the "ants pants" of high speed trolling and casting reels. I own a 16, 20 and 30.
The 30 is as heavy as you want to cast with, and the 6:1 retrieve is excellent. If you can afford the bucks, get the trinidad, as the calcutta isn't in the same ball park. i used to have a calcutta 400 but found my daiwa millionaire far superior in casting and general fishability.Team your trinidad up with a live fibre rod and youwill have the best of everything.
