Thanks HD good to know. Also to anyone that's planning on taking a trip to chandeleur islands the trout fishing is better than ever with a lot of three to five pound trout
I know this an old post, but I have 6 Calais 200DCs. It is the only reel I use and have been using them since they came out. There is nothing else I have thrown that feels as good or casts as far. They have stood up to saltwater just fine; wading or pitching from the boat. I just haven't had any issues with them.
