I use the calcutta 400.Have had it for 4 years and the drag is still smoth like butta!Have busted freshwater stripers to 30lbs on it,yellowtail to 20lbs on it,flathead catfish to 26lbs and largemouth bass to 10lbs on it.And the drag is still as smoth as the day I bought it.If the cutta is a little too steep for you,try the catala 400(99$)or the little smaller cardiff 300(109$).But nomatter what you cannot go wrong with a calcutta.I love mine,and wish I could get a te.Another good real that is not too hard on the wallet is the abu garcia 6500,but the drag washers are pretty much jerky out of the box,but you can get fish on it and they are around 70-90$.Good luck, Billy. -ps,smoothdrag washers are the dope!If they are old or get a little stciky,swap em out for a new set of super smoothies! }(

there was a problem with the early calcutta 400 drags but they are now switched out to dartanium much better than the old cloth drags. If you take care of you reel and don't leave the drags buckled down when your not fishing them they should and will last for years. I would suggest buying the 300 te it's a little smaller and if you throwing big plugs all day it will make a big difference. plus you can't beat shimano's custonmer service
