I honestly think the drag rating on all of these reels is over-rated. In order to even think about using anywhere close to those drags
a. you need to have a spinning rod that can take it and I assure you 99% wont take it
b. I good life insurance policy, because odds are your going over or loosing your gear. 50#'s of drag on an 80W is OK but not on a spinner
I truly believe that there are a few fish you would ever need that drag on, odds are you would pull your hook, break your line or break your rod before you pushed 40#'s
The GT fisherman can get away with it because they are fishing 130 braid with a 200 twisted leader
