hi its me again
iv been told to look at a ahimano charter special as its a lever drag reel and it comes with centrifugal breaks so it could be used for boat casting too how do these work i assume its like what is on my 7ht but how do you adjust them
what do you think to it as a reel

I bought a shamino special a year ago used it once and put it on ebay. A totally terrible reel, in my opinion!
Look at the penn lever drags, the 320LD is good value for money and a more robust reel, I have had one for 4 years never serviced it, use it weekly and its still as good as new...

If something has got a lever drag than you don't want to be using it for uptiding IMO. Something like a Daiwa SL30 or Penn 535 is a better choice.
