Newells are alot cheeper than calcuttas and fish like a coffee grinder. thre a no bells and whistles reel that gets the job done. Its a nice reel if you take care of it but they get coroded real quick and need mantainance. I use one from my kayak for plastic and its done a bang up jub but i really beat it up so every so often i take it appart and clean it and grease it. The famous newell line is "some guys swear by them and some guys swear at them", its true. Theres also different series of newells. I dont really know what they are but theres like the c, s, and g or something. Some are good and some are not. A little research and youll find out which ones are good. If you have the money though id get the cutta, its a smoother reel and less mantainance.
hope that helps,
Daniel
