Any idea what happened to the drag? The JM PE7 has a "efficient: 45lb, max: 80lb" and that reel is only making 22lb?

Where did this info come from have you tested one ? I sure know my JM PE8 can pull far more than that.

We're discussing the offered spec, after all, they aren't shipping yet. Anyhow, that is what jigging master themselves offer; click
Its kind of irrelevant if your reel can pull more than 80lb in any case. As also noted, not much point in a reel offering stacks more drag than you could use with the intended line for it, ie; an 80lb reel doesn't need to be able to do 80lb of drag, that isn't how they're rated.

Sorry mate it looks to me like you are saying that a JM PE7 is only making 22lb of drag ? That link goes no where for me.
Of course 80lb is way more than needed but I do no guys that fight BFT on 30kg of drag from there stella's, not sure how you would hang on for that long on that much drag but they do it.
Jamie Moir:
Link fixed, the forum misinterpreted it or something.
No, I'm asking why the maxel copy of the JM PE7 reel can only manage 22lb of drag when the JM can manage 45lb effective to a totally ridiculous 80lb max.
Chris Wong:
Because JM have installed twin drags. Maxel have a different twin drag design which does not come close to that of JM.
Jamie, you drive a car right? Your car can probably go twice as fast as the speed limit - but you don't drive that fast for several obvious reasons. Why do guys love their V8's? Porsches? Ferraris? All fast cars that are only limited to 110kmph!
Similar reason why JM have developed a super drag system, you don't have to dial it up to the max! PERFORMANCE.
