just a bit of trivia,if you notice the tld5 rod at the top. Drag 7lb,that has nothing to do with the reel.thats the working drag of the rod with a little in reserve.i test every rod and each reel has its own rod.every rod is so marked,just makes it easy on myself.about 20.i dont own any star drag reels,,2 eggbeaters which i won and dont use.i dont have them,so i dont have to worry about setting the drag all the time.just me.cheers
Where did that gold handle come from?
the gold handles came from smooth drag.i think i got the last 2.they have black,silver and grey.cheers
