Title: Calcutta 300te
Post by: bochixter on December 24, 2012, 07:13:53 AM
I just recently bought a used calcutta 300te
But notice that as I was casting it the level wind makes
Some noise. Is that normal or is there something wrong
With the reel. I will appreciate any help or info on it
And thanks again guys

smoothdrag.com has the drag washers, and probably the bearings too, but check the bearings in the reel and see which ones are bad.  if they are rough at all, they should be replaced.
