Felt like a solid upgrade to my fly fishing setup. The drag holds strong even during long runs with large fish. No tippet breakages, and the reel stays responsive under pressure. Great for saltwater use.
Nicola King –
Used this spool during a trip to the coast. The 16-pound drag held up perfectly during a fight with a large trout. Smooth performance and no lag when the fish started to run.

Works well in tough conditions. The drag is reliable and the spool feels balanced. A bit heavier than expected, but worth it for serious fishing.

Perfect replacement for my old spool. The instant drag engagement saved me from losing a big fish. No issues with salt exposure either.
