Both have absolutely zero "side load" due to the "disconnecting drag stack".

Thanks interesting because I have heard the opposite about those reels.

Alan Tani has a new website of his own:
www.alantani.com

He's the best for reel rebuilds, increasing drag, etc. He sent me custom parts to up the drag on a Daiwa 900H I use for a planer reel. Upped the drag from ~20# to over 30#.

Can you be specific about what "the opposite" means and what you have heard?

Aleuchnos Gorilla 12 or 12C. 40# of drag.

I have a Fin Nor Offshore that will do mid 30#'s of drag w/o a problem. It's a star drag though. The OFC 20L will hold 500 yds of 80# Daiwa braid.
