Prob gonna go with the calcutta. I got a buddy who loves them, the 300 size. Gotta go feel the 400 and see if it feels right.
And no offense to the cardiff but i have a couple small ones on some lake trolling setups and they just don’t feel that solid. Never have tried the bigger ones though.
It was cheap if I'm being honest. But it has definitely put in the work and been good to me.

Crazy the kind of gear you guys use on the river.
I have never fished a river, but what you are using is on par with bottom fishing gear in the northeast.
I have a few avets, and a tac16. 60lb hollow braid to 80lb mono on my ready for almost anything setup.
My striper setup would make you chuckle, 20lb braid to 15lb mono. Casts great, and good for any keeper around here.

I use my boat sturgeon setups for ocean fishing too. Halibut, rock fish/lings and shark.

A couple of 2.5 bed fish.

Both on bed. Flipping a white soft plastic 3.3 swim bait.

Must have just gotten to their spots. Tails are not worked at all. But very protective of that space already. Didn't see a female on either bed.
Only saw 1 other on bed but he was skittish.

Water temp 60 degrees on the dot.
What River are the from? And why are the scales all flaky like that?

From a small lake in northern California. That's just dirt and small leaves on the fish.
Talk about shit on your fish.
Up on the sac along 160 where you used to be able to park and drop down to fish, I showed up to one of my favorite bank spots and right as I showed up some dude who must have spent the night there took off. I get down there and think. What a fucking pig. Trash and cans. So I hook up bring her in. Perfect fat keeper sturgeon. Drag it up the bank and it went right over where the motherfucker took a shit and just barely covered it with some rock. Shit all over the sturgeon. Back it went in the water. It was that sturgeons lucky day. I never really kept that many but I was def planning on keeping that one.
