Re: Maxel Hybrid Star Drag Reel
Some people have a love/hate relationship with Lever Drags. They take some getting used to, and you have to know how to set the drag properly or you'll tear up some pinion bearings in the process. All the above reels are great, but if money is no object, I too suggest the new Daiwa Saltiga 15. Either the US high speed H or the Japanese low gear ratio are both good. Will most likely be the last reel you purchase for long time to come. Call around for the 15H as many shops are still offering show discount pricing and you shouldn't have a problem getting it for well under $350.
