I am considering a Galvan Torque Reel for my 8 wt. rod. Probably a T6 rather than the T8 just because it is smaller. It looks and feels nice. Not too heavy. Drag looks ok. I was wondering what other's have to say about these reels -- is the drag smooth when in use and cranked down? Does it have a tendency to spool?

I am replacing an old Scientific Anglers System 2 that works but the drag ain't much to talk about. Had trouble with it when steelhead fishing and think there is better.

I am also considering a Nautilus Feather Weight Plus.

Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.
