Agreed 100%. I made a comment to someone the other night who asked me if he should get a conventional reel. The comment I made to him was the new breed of spinning reels have drag systems that are far superior to even a top end conventional reel. Keep in mind we're talkng about conventional reels you can surfcast with, not larger models for use in the boat.
After the last five mornings, my 229 newell is a steaming turd and ready for the scrap heap. My Z4500 saltiga took the abuse like a champion and the drag is still perfect.
