While I am a huge fan of the newer/nicer drags, those "lame cork friction wanna be crap" drags have killed more big fish than you can ever dream of.

Yeah but how many have they lost ?

Due to the drag or due to luck (or lack thereof)?
Swing over to the "other place" where there are MANY accomplished fly fishermen that have been doing it forever and post that comment.
I dare you.

Infact I'm pretty sure there's one or two guys that have caught more triple digit fish on "lame wannabe cork drag crap" than everyone in this thread combined.

I agree with that

whoop-de-do. I guess I am suppose to be jealous. I am getting tired of the controversies here on every little topic, I'll pass . If catching big fish on crappy gear makes them happy...good for them. It is just a matter of time before it fails. Heck, why not use a snoopy rod?

Yeah, some "crappy gear" with better drags than $800 spinning reels.

You're seriously barking up the wrong tree calling cork drags crappy. Abel builds a FANTASTIC reel with a bombproof CORK drag. I'm pretty sure they've killed more triple digit fish than Van Stalls or ZeeBass ever will.
