Daiwa Pluton

[DANIMAL]

It's a round baitcast reel made for saltwater. I'm thinking about trying one out for musky fishing. Any one here use one? If so, what do you think about it.

Looks kind of small to me. Can't go wrong with a Shimano Calcutta 400TE.

I have a few of them. What do you want to know about it. I'm using these for my bigger Swimbaits and Saltwater applications. I'm about to order 2 more. I also have the Daiwa Ryoga from Japan. The JDM version of the Pluton comes in a Bay Jigging model. I love them and they will be a reel that will outlast alot of others. These are a different reel than the Calcutta.

If you decide you hate it, throw it my way. It'll be a reel that'll outlast you, I bet.

A Pluton is different enough that I might consider one as a special treat to myself one day.

I'm just looking for general reviews on them. How are they different from the Calcutta? Are they a lot smaller than the 400 model?
