So Alex, Do you send him the reel or do you just buy one from him? I really like my prostaff 888 but the drag stinks. It will not crank down enough even on a 3# common. I sent one back to them, and they sent me a brand new one, and it is the same. There is no way you could land a nice big head or any thing heavy. I would love to have it beefed up.
