both offer 22lbs of drag

the blast doesn't have all the bells and whistles such as the cam driven ball bearing supported oscillation, waterproof knob, drag, and gear box, and it also doesn't have a titanium twist buster line roller.

once you get into the 5000 series they boost the drag rating to 66 pounds...

you can all find the mechanical differences here
