I have a Shimano 130# that I am not worried about breaking. If the reel can handle the amount of drag that I have been told it tested to. I will probably only use that cam if going out on a sportifisher with a chair. If on a head boat I will most likely use the stock cam and the stock bellvilles. 35# is plenty of drag for stand up fishing for me.
I saw a guy go overboard from too much drag also. Bad part was it took him about 15 or so second to get the harness unhooked because the 400+# marlin kept running.
I like the sound of this reel mostly because I like things to be able to handle more than I can dish out. I will try a few tests and cut them together.
