Title: Difference between calcutta 400 and calcutta 400 B?
Post by: crack a dawn on August 22, 2005, 03:03:06 PM

Hey Guys,  I just bought the calcutta 400 B.  The guy at the store told me that it is the newer version of the 400.  But this new one is about $50 cheaper. ???  Anybody know why?

Did the guy who sold you the reel explain the difference between the 400B and 400 ?

I just lookied at at review site,, and they said that shimano added another berring and is a little lighter,,,besides that to their relief,, they haven't changed much else.  Apparently it has a softer slip resistant grip.

  Biffchan,,,,,The 401 that I saw,, was probably  not the 401 B.  I'm pretty sure that is not out yet.  Heres a good link for you.http://www.tackletour.com/reviewshimanocalcuttabpreview.html
