Cedros High Speed CJ-80S, this thing got 33lbs of Max drag. That is a TON better then the Pen Battle 6000 I use to have. The Pen 6000 had Max drag of 20lb and cost 109.95. I got the Okuma Cedros High Speed CJ-80S for $121.86 on amazon.com here is a pics of the reel... Here is a link to the stats on the reel www.okumafishing.com/product/view/reels/spinning-1/cedros-high-speed#!prettyPhoto

I checked out the reviews for this reel and so far, for me, the jury is still out since some of the reviews mentioned seizing up problems after a short use time.
Looks like Daniel is going to be the guinea pig for testing this spinning reel out.

I read those too, but I also read good reviews on it too, its 50/50 so I guess Ill just have to find out... But for the price it seems worth it for the bang for the buck... 33 pounds of drag compaired to 20 pounds of drag... thats what sold me on it oh and the price... I was going to go to Academy and get a Battle 6000.. one thing good about Academy is that I can allways return the product if there is any issues with it even after a year... lol
But my purchase at Amazon.com..... I will have to really take care of this reel, and maintenace it my self over time... but for about 120 bucks ill take that chance!!

Oh man!! I have tested this reel out with 50# braided line (Power Pro slick8) and casted 2oz spoons on it, Let me tell you, I caught a 53" King on it, the drag on this reel is amazing! I had to loosen the drag up because I was all most pulled into the water by this king fish with the drag tighten. So far I am very pleased with the reel, I have it paired up with an Ugly Stick Tiger rod. Not to mention I caught a bunch of Macs on Monday, and all most got a few lings with it. When the video comes out you will see this reel in action!!
