Thanks for the welcome, you probably know me from SOL,
different name over there but given the subject of this thread, shouldn't be hard to figure out!
Another reel with excellent performance at a reasonable price is the Shimano Power Aero. I have two of them and have had no trouble in two years of tournament fishing. On that big auction site some NIB 2005 models are still offered, a search on completed auctions shows they are going for under $200 dollars. As with most Shimanos though, they are a brick. These come in at over 23 ounces.
The two knob drag is neat, it acts like a baitrunner . . . allows you to set a strike tension and then return to a fighting drag without fumbling or overtightening.
