that'd be 22 pounds of drag on the Exceler Ryan, got to remember that BassPro is in America, they're a little stubborn and won't use metric because its too confusing for them.

[Fishguts]

yeh im surprised at that amount,one of them was 33,surely that must be poundage,i cant imagine a spinning reel to pull 33kg

[RyanG45]

sorry guys about that forgot about the metric and impeiral system ahahaha

cheers ryan

I have been reading up on the Fin-Nor reels. Cheap but i have heard some mixed reviews. Had a mate use one of their overheads and he rated it quite highly and he normally uses the top end gear...

Here is the link to them. I think the Offshore 95 has about 27kg of drag in a spinning reel for under $250...

i have a few accurates and they are a serious bit of kit, and believe me they will put more pressure on a fish than you will be able to hang onto for any amount of time. i have the lil cr12 spinnin reel and it is capable of 50lbs of drag prssure and the cr20 i dont have, but i have the cr30 which will hurt you seriously at 70lbs of drag, and a sustainable drag, not an advertased drag, but honestly, if you intend to be fishin from a boat, that is just stupid amounts of drag, you will end up over the side. this aint bs. only need 10 kilo drag max, but with a very smooth drag, you wont have any probs.

also look at the 665h boss reels, i have a few of these and find them really nice, nice drag and again over kill for wot we have here, i only have these bcos i went jigging mad. they hardly come out of their covers these days, probably havent seen daylight in over 2 years now.

Hi Fishguts,

You can get your Tiagra 80wa beefed up to fish at almost 130 drag settings. It’s interesting to note that an International 80vsw (when suitably calibrated) can be fished at heavier drag settings than a Tiagra, while still maintaining true free spool.

Cheers mate,

Simon

Ive had a feel of robs cr30... theres no way id crank that much drag from a boat unless you want to loose your gear or go skiing
