Looking for smaller lever drag

(@batrayz)

I am looking for a lever drag with at least 25lb at max, preferably 30lb. I want between 200yds/40lb-400yds/40lb mono.
Preferably less than $300.

I am not looking to buy at the moment so I won't waste your time if you have something like this.
I am just trying to get a sense of what(if anything) is out there with these specifications.

It seems like to get more than 20lb of drag it goes over my price range.

Don't know how hard it would be to find a used one but one of the guys on the pier I fish picked up a used avet 30w for $250 a few weeks ago. It's Line Capacity-- 500/50 mono, 400/130 hollow braid, 650/80 hollow braid

Avet 30w for 250 seems like a great deal

I was looking at the Avet JX Raptor, but it is just to expensive for me

Thanks for the offer man, but I am just getting an idea of what's out there and don't have any money to spend on a set up at this time.

Beside shipping a rod to California would brake bank.

The problem with these reels is they are all just to big. I only want 400yds of 40lb mono max. These all have good drag but there to big.
