I bought this reel a year ago or so

I bought this reel a year ago or so. However, really hadn't put it to use til last Sunday. I caught a 43" Redfish in shallow water and it ran like a tuna for 60-80 yds at a time. The drag was fairly taught and I loosened it once a little, only had 20# leader on 30# braid. Moral of the story this real is so smooth and the drag was impressive!!! Landed the fish wo a landing net, so I played it for like 25 min. I will be buying Rekon's from now on, love that reel!!
