10/9/2015 6:05:00 PMHey 18ftTrophy, Ya, I bought a few redington fly reels with a clicker drag only but the drag comes loose as soon as you hook a fish. Its almost like free spool. so if you don't put your palm on the reel fast you get a bird nest. tried to tighten the drag screw but it strips out real easily. The reel is a lemon, that is probably why they do not offer that reel anymore.

I caught a 25lb king with it a few years and I wanted to find another supper light reel with a drag. I now use a Clark fly reel as it has a sealed drag bearing so can be used in the salt, and I love it.
