Morph808 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I have a dilemma and I was hoping to get people's opinion. Looking to downsize my SB arsenal. I have a Curado 300D with a 795 Fury, valcutta 300TE with a Phenix 800H, and a Dobyns 867. For the 867 I have two reels to choose from but looking to sell one...a Luna 253 and a Calcutta 400B. Which would be ideal to keep so I have all I need to handle up to 8oz SBs? Still new to SB fishing but I stuck my first chunk on WRS on Clear Lake recently. Thanks!

MA Frog Man Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Luna is one of the most underrated reels in my opinion. Awesome reel. But if you're looking to throw up to 8 ounces you might want to stick with the calcutta for the line capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dheath2 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I love my 253 but I don't throw anything over 6 oz very often. Calcutta might be the better choice. Or just make another combo and keep both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakevlastnik Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Keep the luna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoblinSlayer Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Love my luna- cast like a dream and its the perfect size to interchange between theowing light rigs to heavy swimbaits. 253 size is the best imo. I prefer it out of a calaias dc,,,not as sharp bit super fun to throw with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmthompson44 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Not too many people talk about the luna 253 on here. But it is my favorite reel i have. dheath2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodkitty Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I've got a Luna 300 and love it. I'm getting a Luna or CV-Z 253 eventually. I'd probably throw the Luna on the 795 and sell the Curado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morph808 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I guess I am keeping the Luna. I am pretty sure I can find a dance partner for her when the opportunity comes. Thanks fellas! Bloodkitty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
