flyrodman Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Does anyone have any experience with this reel? How is the drag? Thanks! Luke Walz
drew03cmc Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 The reel itself is heavy. The drag should be pretty good, but when I picked one up in a shop, the weight turned me off. Andy
Geoff Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I have the 1680. i find it to be an excellent reel. i use it on my 8wt and my Sage bass rod. i have zero complaints about it, I have landed some carp on it and it does a might fine job. Still trying to pit it against some muskie "When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all."

Geoff Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Probably pretty well. the big version I have balances out perfect on my Sage bass rod and St Croix 8wt. Its alittle nicer on the 8wy because the rod itself is heavier but I have no real complaints about the setup. "When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all."
