Picked up a couple of 704 greenie beaters and managed to get one good reel out the mess.

Will test the "power drag" this weekend.

704 vs LWP blacktip :o :o :o

I upgraded the drag. I used 3 HT100 disks from a 4/0 and the new knob. It pulls a 20# dumbell off the floor.

It's 100% Penn with the exception of the handle, which is Ebay.

Cut the bail off and drilled out the rotor.

And got a win. Big thanks to Cuban Eddy for the solid gaff. Yes, that's a shark bite scar on the cobe.
