The drag is sensitive but reliable, the grip on the handle fits my large fingers, the gear ratio is perfect for playing the fish before netting, and the tension necessary for trolling deep is there. I highly recommend this reel to all my fishing colleagues in this area of Washington State. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Salmon reel *by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2018* the perfect salmon reel, for mooch or troll.
