Not sure of the price for the Orvis, but I own several G Loomis Venture series in the 3 & 5, disk drag is very smooth. The take up (wind in) is silent. Spool will spin freely. I like this feature, as it tends to wind in line as you cast from the centrifical force.
Cost $100.00 No financial interest - Just like the reels. Easy left to right hand swap as well.
