Hi,
I am looking for a budget saltwater reel on which I can change the spool on the beach whitout water getting jnto the drag system. I would use it for atlantic salmons on my Sage X 10’ #8 and for stripers and pikes on a TFO Axiom 2-X 9’ #9. I tough of buying the Spectrum but I did read on Trident that the maximum drag was below 3 lbs. I am looking for more drag since I am using 15-20 lbs mono for stripers on 8-15 lbs mono for salmons. Would the Hydros ne a good option? Is the drag system exposed to the elements when switching spools?
Thanks for the help and tight lines,
Julien
