I have a Calcutta 400 that's over 10 years old and still going strong!:biggrin: However, I may need a few items to get it back to feeling new.
1. The drag goes from loose to locked down with no in between, so I guess I need new drag washers. Are there Dartanium washers available for this model?
2. I have been through 4 of those plastic handle nut caps (they always break by the screw). Will the metal caps that are found on some of the other Calcuttas fit that reel?
3. I am thinking about putting new bearings in it. Would it benefit me to replace the bushing on the spool and replace it with a ball bearing?
4. Is there anything else you might recommend I can do for this oldie but goody?
Thanks,
Bob
