Drag is smooth and I haven't had a problem in over 15 years with them! Rods: I prefer the Depth Master 8'6" trolling rods with medium action. I have caught countless kokanee on them along with 20-25lb lakers and some cutthroat up to nearly 10lbs, along with lots of walleye and wipers at Willard Bay. I now have 5 sets of them and would not trade them for any other set ups. For the price you just can't beat them. The rod/reel combos go on sale about twice a year for about $89 for the rod+reel. The 20 series are nice for kokes but I prefer the 30 series which hold more line. As for line: I use a braid with 6-8' of 15lb mono or flouro leader material for all of the fish above.
Just curious, what boat did you order/get?
I ordered a Vexus ADX 190, Merc 175 with 9.9 kicker. Maybe end of Aug it will be here.
