Ben, I have been using them the past 2 seasons, and have had no problems. The drags have worked fine so far, and I have zero problems with them. For what they cost, they are a nice durable reel.

The only problems I've had and seen has been the clicker springs break which is only a dollar plus shipping to fix.Not that hard to put in.I got one that also counts off.Just double the number you see on the counter and you close to what you let out.I've got 4 years on my 2, the drags have been good.The counters can be touchy/ annoying.For $39.00 you get decent reel that will work but for alittle money you can get reels that line counter will hold up better(Diawa).Dennis
