..., one at the front that works as a standard spool drag system, its smooth and has a wide range of adjustment, from virtually free spool to solid lock up. The rear drag adjustment is by means of a rubberised knob that is smooth and turns with pleasing gentle clicks. The function of this rear drag knob is to control the amount of drag in baitfeeder mode, at the flick of the baitfeeder lever which feels nice and positive you can set the spool drag to whatever you like using the rear knob, i like to have it set very slack so if a big fish takes off with my bait and i wasnt watching my rod tip the reel screams in a satisfying manor to warn me im in business, As soon as you turn the reel and strike, the bait runner lever clicks into the off position and drag control is then governed by the front drag system.

Advantages: Excellent value for money, good drag system, good capacity Disadvantages: None I have fond yet

It's 2 spools (less than some - but fine because it really is meant for only one purpose - float fishing). Both shallow match varieties. I have mine filled with 2.5 and 4 lb lines. They take over 100m of each.
These reels retail at £90, but the deals around today make them available for half of that. This is cheap quality. You won't find many better match reels....
