Thinking about getting one for swimbaits and wondered if anyone here has one and what do you think of them. How does the 11.6oz wt feel after tossing 4-6oz swimbaits all day? THX in advance for any replies!
Shimano Calcutta 300D?

Theres just so many HUGE fish in the area-
There's like 30 of you swimbait guys lobbing hooked logs for the same 10 fish!

Shimano parts support is not good.
Just a note on Shimano, as I've mentioned before, Shimano, from my experience does NOT stand behind their products for very long. I've had one instance with the 30/50 Beastmasters that they stopped supporting in less than 5 years and own 5 Stellas that are all about 5+ years old and have been told they NO LONGER HAVE PARTS for these reels, the are "OBSOLETE" per Shimano. A $700.00 +/- reel that is 5 years old is not supported.
Buyer Beware!!!!!

Ill be waiting patiently for the pics- of your surgically reconstructed labrum-
It's a decent reel. Would not be my first choice though... I have only fished the DC and while I like it for casting, the reel itself is not what I want to handle all day. Shimano Curado 300 is what I would get. More bullet proof and easier to handle. I like my lexa 300s but I have had issues with them being too delicate.

That thread is why I'm asking! Have a great deal going on a NIB reel so really won't feel as bad if it screws up 5 yrs down the road.
LMAO!!! Here's one caught on a Dynamo...
