Shimano makes the best reels and this one is no exception. You get what you pay for and this is a first class line counter reel with all of the features you need to do controlled depth fishing. The drag has lots of range and easily accessed while fighting fish. The clicker is a real plus for trolling and setting the run point on the drag to your preference. I like the new position of the clicker set to 50% of the drag on the thumb side and you can reach the spool with your thumb so you can feel the fish. Great reel from Shimano.
