#751, "RE: Cardiff Vs Corsair ?" In response to In response to 4
I own a Cardiff 301 and I like it...I also own a Calcutta TE 401 and I like everything about it, except the amount I had to pay for it. A year ago, I purchased an '05 Okuma IDX 400. I had a series of problems with that reel, but about a month ago (with the help of John Lake) Okuma sent me a new '06 version the IDX 400. I can't say enough good things about it. I was throwing Huds with it last weekend and made a couple comments about how much I liked it. A buddy of mine (who spent a year busting my balls about the '05 model that I couldn't get to function) decided to give it a try. After 100+ casts he looked at me and said, "Where do I get one of these?" I'm with Matt...you should consider the Okuma IDX 400.
