Feels more powerful than my older saltigas but not as smooth reeling (by a small margin), clicker is loud, drag is definitely stronger. I have the 14000XH.

Let me put it this way, if I find the last gen saltiga at a discount price I'd buy that, but I'm going to save up and buy more 2020 saltigas for my arsenal. By discount I'm saying I'd be willing to pay $300 more to get a new one from digitaka. Still waiting for Alan Hawk's review to come out on these.

I would imagine holding 66lbs of drag for more a minute or 2 is daunting. I would surely look at other attributes of the reel over drag amount to justify the new stuff. Is the operation smoother? Are there features you can live without to spare some $$? Wait for the reviews. Good Hunting
