You may want to rethink that,
You may want to rethink that, they tend to grind when you load them up much past 10lb of drag, so best suited to 30lb line max.
It would make a nice tuna troller with light mono on it though.

I reakon it would sit nice on a demon blood pe 2-4 or the pe 3-5 o/h. About $300 and you can use it for jigging, drift baiting, bottom bouncing or trolling, a good allround combo. Ive got a similar size reel but different brand on the demon blood pe 3-5 and love it to bits! Plus comes in well under budget to allow for some nice braid and a few new jigs ;)

Not really, its not a
Not really, its not a max-drag issue where changing the washer might help, its a different problem that a lot of lever drags have at high drag levels.
The problem is, that at a high drag preset, the drag is slightly engaged when you turn the handle, even when its out of gear possibly.
If you put mono on it, you will never notice it because of the lower drag ratings required.

I thought u mite of gotten a few more sugestions, especialy with a nice high budget! If you dont like the demon bloods then go to one of the site sponsers, a few of them have some pretty nice high budget rods!
