I'm not questioning Tackletour's review at all, you guys are the experts. but I am wondering what might be a non issue in an experts hands might be an issue for the layman or casual angler because the negative reviews all seem to focus on the ease of 'dialing in' the reel for casting to prevent back...

is the drag star on this metal?

great review, but when you click on the link to tacklewarehouse at the bottom of the page to buy the reel, there are 4 reviews on it and they are all negative.

What are they missing?

I think their 1 power is light, 2 is med, 3 is med heavy and 4 is heavy.

I am glad they put a hook keeper on this one. some of their other dropshot rods have some unhappy customers that order online and find out the rod has no keeper built in.

Is an E6X review far behind?
