Matt I bought one a year or so ago and it didn't have much of a drag system...I sold it pretty quick and bought a tioga 8 and have been pretty happy with it since..Has worked for me through steelhead and salmon season and the drag seems bullet proof to me..

> Has anyone out there tried out one of the new Orvis Rocky Mountain LA fly reels? I want an upgrade reel on my 8wt but i dont want to put 300 dollars into a LA. It has a cast alum. frame similar to the battenkilland the $15 cartridges that let you carry extra lines/shooting heads/ etc very cheaply. Since it is orvis it is most likely gjood quality, and at 85 bucks ill be able to afford to eat after i buy it. According to the description the frame, and the drag are very similar to the 'kill and I own a battenkill and am very satisfied. Anyone have any ideas on this??
