Can you include me in this request please! Looked at Canyon reels last night and need insight. I am looking for a better togging reel than the brand x I am having troubles with - clickers and bearings! Thanks Gerry Z. for your thread on clickers. I blew up a reel toggin yesterday...sounds like a coffee grinder. I am now told brand x is notorious for bearing problems. Partially my fault, not knowing you should not exceed max drag setting on these reels. Fishing braid, I fish with almost a locked up drag (set by feel) so that tog cant go back home to his snag. I know star drag reels may be a better choice, but I am using lever drag reels. Any advice would be appreciated in fixing brand x or would love to speak to a Canyon Reel guy about drag and bearings. Also I am left handed. I do a lot of casting around to catch my tog and have chosen reels that have a casting control for that reason. Thanks! Fishfish
