MAXEL SL10 standard has a max drag with freespool of 10kg for $385 for another $40 upgrade to HT100 and we got 16KG.

Makes you wonder why they don't just ship them with decent drags themselves? I hear even daiwa is doing that now with the new saltigas.

They will in future. We have advised of a couple of upgrades we want to make them even better.
Price will also slightly increase though as well but only a little.

Upgrade was done here in Australia to the HT100 drag material.

Probably more like comparing a BMW 3 series to an M3!

It's taken daiwa way to long for that to happen! I personally drags should be checked before every use especially if it's a new reel. Just because you pay good money for a reel we should all not assume that it has been done right.

Both reels parts come form MAXEL so very little difference.
You are just paying Jigging Master for the name on the side.
