Hi Jeff
The two at the bottom are TLD Star drags. Stronger gears and drag than the others. They will pull a comfortable 20 lbs of drag with a carbontex upgrade.
The Mark 1 to 4 all have metal frames and side plates which make them a little heavier, but stronger.
I like the 4:1 gear ratio on the Mark 1&2 but I would say the mechanism is not as strong as the others.

Greg, I didnt type that out right.
I meant to say, of the Shimano reels you show in the pic, that I dont have..... Any way my thoughts & typing dont travel at the same pace. Not a big Shimano fan but like I was attempting to say the ones in your pic are good ones I think... Jeff

I get ya!. I think my favourite would probably be the Mark 3S. Compact reel with all metal frame and plates and will deliver about 17lbs max with carbontex drag.
I fish mine at about 15lbs.

Nice collection of Shimano, Greg!

Nice Triton's Greg,
I am not really A Shimano Fan either, but the Triton is my weak spot. ;)
I have two 300's. They are hard to find in good condition.
Thanks guys
Daron I had two 300 and then I bought a mark 3 frame for one of them (no level wind.) I was finding it difficult to get Mark 3.
