Tom, You are right on, about the drag thing. I wish I had a nickel for how many novices I have had on board my boat that get way to excited when a big bull red or a smoker kings gets near the boat. They tighten drag too much and only bad things happen.
Wil, I use a 6500C and also Penn 9m's when I target big bull reds. I like the drag on the 6500c, but have had problems with the gears. Stripped out the main pawl etc. I can't say they are as good as I thought they would be.
