I didn't say I wasn't concerned about the drag. I have a Mid-arbor. I'm looking for a classic style click and pawl drag. Most of the fish I will land will be between 7 to 15 inches and the reel will handle it I'm sure. I just wondered if I happen to catch a larger fish would it suffice.
P.S. What does YMMV mean? I'm not up on all of that stuff.
