Title: Calcutta 700 drag upgrade
Post by: Fishnmike on March 26, 2012, 04:14:27 AM
Hello all.  I just acquired two Calcutta 700s, the older ones, not the 700b or TE.  One is in perfect shape the other really needs a drag job done on it.  I plan to order a set of Carbontex washers and some grease. Any other tricks or pieces of advise?

Finished up the second one yesterday, all went well. Tackled one of my Okumas later, that was a bit more of a pain.  THanks for a great site Alan.
