After a new set of reels. After 4 years of scopes i'm now moving onto bigger lakes again and getting some 12 footers again. What's out there for around £150 a reel that you'd recommend? Have got some ci4 5500 xtc that i had on my scopes which i toyed with the idea of using, but to be honest I don't really like them, the drag is just way too quick 1/4 from free spool to full lock.

If you like your current reels apart from the quick drag it may be as simple as changing the front cap. I did this with my Ci4 XTB's, I didn't like the baitrunner cap.

Change the harderwhite ptfe washers in the spools for the grease felt ones that come in the ultegra xtd spools that will slow the clutch down

Don't think they are available unless you buy the Reel.
