Jeff,

If my post came across as I was totally disrespecting a Charlton reel, I apologize. They are superb big game reels. Quite possibly the best made to date.

If you would like to discuss this further I am more than happy to talk via email or PM to keep from cluttering the board with a mundane debate over micro details.

William
