The drag knob is large for easy adjustment, and Ive noticed little startup inertia
That is because the actions of rods have also improved greatly, and a good all-round rod these days would be something like a 12ft 3.5lb model which incidentally is also one of the most popular in our Kaizen Platinum and Kaizen Green ranges which can cast as far as a lot of people need it to, with 15lb line, and yet is still a lovely rod to play fish on, even under the rod tip, without fear of pulling the hook
After a few years, I think Id tested out over 50 different reels from brands like Shimano, Okuma, Abu, Quantum, Penn, and more
there was a thread where some one installed fishing rod holders in their pass through
