Has anyone tried one of the new Calcutta D Series reels?

Haven't seen it before this. But I am excited to see it in person. Also happy to see they will be making leafy hand versions of these reels. My 400B had to be right hand retrieve cause I couldn't upgrade to a TE at the time.

It looks like Abu Garcia is coming out with a new line of Revo Toro's called the NaCl this fall which will include a left hand retrieve. This is a low profile reel. For whatever reason they will not have the option in the left hand retrieve for High Speed which they do for the right hand retrieve. The standard retrieve is 26 inches per turn.
