The drag system is smooth and responsive. I’ve used it in rain and cold conditions, and the seals have held up well. The drag knob is easy to adjust and stays consistent across different fish types.
Ryan Rutherford –
Lightweight and reliable. The 39 drag settings help me match the right tension for different flies and water conditions. A small improvement in feel over previous models, but still very solid.

Perfect for trout and larger species in remote areas. The sealed drag system prevents rust even after a few days in wet conditions. No issues with water getting in or drag slipping.
