Front or rear Drag

I am a great lover of rear drag reel's, especially if it has a Shimano badge. However I have heard quite a few reports that a front drag is better!

Would anyone care to comment as to whether they think rear or front is best and why?

Re: Front or rear Drag

That is what I think as well.

So why do they say front is best?

Re: Front or rear Drag

I've always felt Front Drag reels feel smoother.

Re: Front or rear Drag

My preference has to be the rear, but then again thats only because i hate having to twist off the top for changing the spools!
