I have the Coldwater with braided line on it. If you use it with downrigger You can't tighten up the drag enough to put tension on rod. I sent first one back and got a new one and it does same thing. I think what is happening is when I put tension on pole after its in holder the braided is pulling into spool and letting off tension. I haven't tried it yet with mono to see if that is the problem. I like the reel.
