I understand that Voltman was saying if the Calcutta can handle sharks then it for sure can handle Stripers regardless if its from shore or boat. My only knock against Calcuttas are the slower ratios. I understand some folks like that but I don't unless I'm cranking or tossing a spinnerbait. JMO
Nothing wrong with the Corados at all. I guess I would like to try the Revo STX to see what I think. Plus it has about 10 lbs more drag than the Corado and all aluminum. I have fished with my buddies Abu Skeet Reese model and that thing is smooth and sturdy as heck. Those are hard to find and I think the STX would be similar or better in quality. I have used the low end Black Max and I dont like that, but I have not used the Revos.
