Yes, I have to say that the CTE-400 is sweet. I sprung on your recomendation of the reg 400's and I couldn't be happier. I did also get shimano to replace a old Corsair so I am going to order a calcutta rod for it also. I did notice a report from ya on night fishing whick insighted me to post the castaic trip below unfortunalely the rod is still out. So it looks like its going to be a flippin stick and smaller trout plugs. I must say you are the man, every time I read one of your reports it gets me going. Teen fish or bust, thanks for the stories and tips!
