One reason I like Calcutta's is they fit my hand.

Now I do not "palm" my reel per se, my index finger & middle finger are in front of the rod trigger & my thumb is over the top. 

My wife bought me a Chronarch when the first came out, used it once & returned it for a Calcutta 50!

For those who asked

I palmed a tatula didnt like it i can palm a penn 109 and have about 20 of them even much bigger then a tatula..for me its more about my thumb placement i think if i can put thumb around top of frame its comfy

That´s how I hold the rod & reel, the problem is I have small hands so not even the recessed foot helps, probably the only Calcutta/Conquest that I could find comfortable would be the 50 size since it´s very small in diameter.

I actually prefer my 50, problem is its a 5.0:1 which is great for slow rolling or crankbaits!
