#7127, "RE: Anyone using the cardiff 301 or 401 for the big bai..." In response to In response to 2
I use a Cardiff 301 to throw baits as heavy as Hud's and I'm very happy with it. I have not fought a double-digit fish with it yet, so I really can't tell you about it's effectiveness of the drag, but I have confidence it will get the job done.
I also have a Calcutta 401 TE...I love it, but I bought the Cardiff as my second reel because of the price.
