Same here. The drag numbers make me laugh.
Even mid teens will promptly land school tuna between 50 and 100 pounds on spin gear.
When some spin reel companies start talking about 40 pounds it starts getting really ridiculous.
I always advise people put their reel on a rod, make a loop in your line, and then have someone hold the scale and then pull HARD and find out when their drag starts slipping. It's almost always educational.
