Don't see why you wouldn't want more drag, and a carbon fiber handle, unless the difference in price or gear ratio is an issue.

Thanks for the replies guys. Redfish, yes I was thinking Dobyns Champ. Capt, PM sent back.

Im looking into the Type-R or the Coastal. Both are nice reels, and may lean more on the Coastal side due to I can use it for salt water as well. Those who own them please give me some input on the reels, what are your thoughts/experiences. Also, a important question. I have heard that the gears tha...

Are these things going on mark down or something?

From what ive heard, the ci4+ is less expensive to use in reels compared to aluminum or whatever it is in the e and g series? If this is true, then a ci4+ series would be great for us fans. What are your t...
