OK, I was talking to someone today, and we were trying to figure out which one is REALLY better, a reel with a lever drag or a reel with the a star drag. Mechanically, I see no difference in the performance of the two. The only advantage of a lever drag that I can see is that once you find that "sweet spot" you like your drag at, you just slide that bad boy up there each time and it's on. With a star drag, you kinda have to set it each time, atleast I like to just to be safe. I own a few different lever drag reels, and then I have my trusty Penn Senators. I have to tell ya, I like the old Senator 2's, Besides the internationals, there's just something about the lever drag I don't like. Maybe i'm just stuck in the way I grew up doing it I guess.
