Thanks again

Bobby look at those new Maxel hybrid star drag reels that are out there. I know many fans of the Newell 220 reels that are going with this reel as a great replacement. Very narrow very light & a much better drag system & bearings. It's very close to a Saltiga 15 if you ask me but nothing is better in a star drag then the Saltiga if you ask me.

Thanks Doug !!! I think I will do that.
Also looking at Penn Squall and Fathom 12 and 15. I also prefer the star drag.

Does anyone here have experience with the maxel hybrid 20?

I just got one for the holiday I know a few of my buddies who own them used them & loved them. I know MVP & a few others who have them a very narrow spool but it took 150yds of 30 lb. braid more then enough of line for Blackfishing.
