Thanks for the feedback guys. I know Abel's are crazy expensive, but I found a guy selling a mint condition TR2 on eBay, and am looking at probably getting it for less than $200. The click drag shoudn't be a big issue on the Little Red, which is my home water. I think palming the spool will be kind of a cool new (old) way to fish. My auction ends in a few hours. I'll let ya know what happens. Thanks again!
