Zero Drag

I tried a Large Zebco Style real and the gears stripped out of it.

They may work for smaller fish but bigger ones put a hurtin on them.

I'll stick with the Zero drag.

AMS for sure, awsome. pricy, but well worth it. if u keep it clean (free of weeds getting caught in it and stuff)it should last a LONG time
