I have used the Maxel Hybrid all of last year for blackfish season as i was one of the first ones to get my hands on one. I also was concerned about not being able to get my thumb to fit in between the spool due to narrow spool. What you need to take into account is when you have reel filled with line it is not an issue. Put that reel through the ringer during blackfish season and had several fish over 10 lbs. Super light with more drag than you will probably ever need.
Was very happy with it. I also fished the Micro jigger 100H which is a level drag reel. Also super light with a ton of drag. These became my gotto reels this past winter while trophy hunting. I have no issue using level drag when bottom fishing and actualy prefer it as it allows me to back off drag when fighting big fish towards the end of the fight when fish take that final run when they see the boat. Picked up both of these reels at Jigging World (sponsor) and could not be happier with both reels and service received at store.
