All things being equal
I think that after reading the drag stats, I will stick with my Pflueger Trion 9/10 for the time being. It has an incredible drag system and looks good too. I have used one for two seasons now with absolutely no issues. I have the upmost confidence in it. I would seriously consider upgrading to a Pflueger President 9/10 for my spey reel though, same great drag setup but with a true large arbor instead of the mid arbor of the Trion series, so more room for backing. The price point isn't bad either if you are budget conscious, or trying to justify a purchase to the wife,lol.
