I own the 200R, 300R & the 500R  built like a brick sh.thouse.

500R was serviced recently, was told still looked brand new inside.

Drag is probably more like 24kg, thru out all sizes...
 owned 500R for over a year used in March with Capt Phil, pulled a few Kings & puka.. Kings ave was 21kg never missed a beat. Drags were smooth as on all reels.  Trini's ok but would take Poseidon over them any day...

Do I like em    Hell Yeah Big smile  am considering selling my JM pe5 so can buy another 500....

I have a trini 10a is a nice softbait reel  Big smile  
 
just had to try it, this is the 200 on an ocean devil. loved it. Fishing Coro's  why strayline rig. Tomorrow chasing all sorts....150 a little too small for my big mits  LOL

I'm reasonably sure the Poseidons are another brand for gear from Weihai Lianfu, a Chinese OEM/rebrander. I could be miles off the mark but they look to be damn near identical. They can be had for less than $300 if you buy direct, no idea if they're any good - presumably they will have stainless gears and lots of bearings but that may not be any indicator of quality.
Honestly I'd go for an Omoto Vortex 12N before I bought a Weihai Lianfu reel, Fishing NZ does them (fnzl.co.nz) - last time I got a price they were cheap as and I know they're decently put together.
 
Trinidad is always going to be good, you pay a bit more for it. Likewise the Accurate.
 
Also I'll chuck in as a dark horse the Okuma Andros 5N, should be able to get your hands on one for $400 and they're nice smooth reels, 11kg of drag if you want it, light, well built, infinite A/R, blah blah... "budget" alternative to Accurate in my opinion.

You could pm Boulder on here for an unbiased opinion of the Poseidon.
