I got one of the Eagle Claw reels for Christmas and have used it a couple times. For the most part, I like it. I did notice that first thing in the morning when it was cold, the drag was a bit inconsistent. I use 4 lb line and have the drag set quite light. It seemed to smooth out when the morning warmed up.
I like the gear ratio as opposed to the 1:1 reels. I have not fished it deeper yet (like for splake at Fish Lake) but I would imagine the 1:1s would be a real pain at 40-45'.
