Very mono line-weight orientated reels, for instance the 12  has only enough drag to fish 12lb mono smooth and progressive. Made for livebaiting or trolling IGFA line classes mono. We last sold them in 2007.
If there is doubt, there is no dobut.

Can the drags be upgraded?

Not really the kind of reel I would use for softbaiting, even the smallest size weighs twice as much as your average daiwa 3000/shimano 4000 and it still holds less line than them!
