I got hook-up with this spool because of Pak Adhek of Bali recommendation. He likes the smoothness of the drag and it is comparable with Smoooooth Carbontex drag. Found this spool at Sabre Tackle KL. Been searching high & low at every tackleshop in KL. Others only have the 6000 series. Kamarul got the red version, so got myself the blue version. First thing that i inspected is the drag material. Eehmmm, not carbon but some kind of white teflon and it it "DRY" (not greased).
For the record, I'm very impressed with the original Daiwa spool, in term of corrosion resistance. But i've never test/tried with Studio Ocean Mark's spool. Better ask Kamarul about it coz i think he never despooled his lines after fishing trip.
