I like the lever drag feature. You have the ability to set your drag based upon the line test strength. An example; I use 30 pound test line, while the lever is in free spool mode you adjust the dial clockwise for more power or counter-clockwise for less power. You engage the drag lever to the strike zone setting and at this point test the drag with a "Pull scale" until you get it set to 30% of the line strength, In this case, it is set to 10 pounds. You still have the option of setting the drag lever position to what you feel is an appropriate drag setting for the fish that you're targeting. Remember you can quickly make adjustments to the drag lever while fighting a hooked fish. Shimano says that the drag its-self can be pulled out equal to 100 miles prior to needing any maintenance. Consider this, you catch a decent fish and it runs out 70 yards of line, that's 210 feet, at this rate you catch 25 fish for every mile of drag, you'll catch 2500 decent sized fish before you'll need to do anything to your drag system. That's a lot of fish that this reel is capable of bringing in. I like everything about this reel and the smooth even drag of the TR2000LD Shimano Charter Special Lever Drag Mono Conventional Reel with a line retrieve ratio 4.2:1 Overall, I give this reel an A+ rating.Read full review

Wanted a trolling reel with line guide. This one had good reviews so I took the chance and bought it. It arrived quick enough to go on my Keys trip. It worked fantastic catching Tuna and Dolphin. Line reeled in evenly and drag set perfect each time. I love the lever drag. No hassle and you can see where you have it set unlike a star drag that you have to tug on the line to see how you have it set. Couldn't get as much 30Lb line on as I'd like so filled with 25 instead but had no issues. Wish I would have gotten sooner since I wont be back on the water for another 8 months. Looking forward to using it again. Its a great reel and a great value you won't be sorry.

My old one needs repairs. I like this model and to my knowledge is gonna be back in their lineup anymore. Like the upgraded chromed handle. Good to have a second reel. My favourite reel . Ease of use, perfect retrieve gearing , light and very sensitive. Great for 2-35 lb fish.

I have 5 of these reels and use them for every thing from halibut trolling to off shore live bait fishing for tuna. The lever drag works perfect to keep just the right tension on the line to land big or small fish

Bought this to surf fish but has also become my catfish reel. Works great on both fronts.
