power horse!
Yeh a nice reel Mako, i've been using one for nearly two years now and love it. Mainly a deep water reel for me......(80lb) but a power horse none the less......nice!

what sort of drag can you get out of one of these? Thinking about getting one for the deeper water.

Dont know about the new ones
Dont know about the new ones but the older 16 drag was in the range of about 24-28lbs or something like that.

heaps!
Yo Dean,
Penn's Extreme Drag Cam is rated to 15kgs approx at Max "Strike"
At "Full" Max it would be a shit load more.....more than required mate.
