I've got one with the matching TR rod. Have only fished with it a couple of times - it feels good but has not yet been fully tested.
Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water.

16kg of drag would have the thing maxed out, the drag in them is way too small.

Small? The main gear and adjustable versa drag stack is pretty large in comparison to the size of the reel....

16kg of drag small? Name a few reels with more-stella(spinning excepted). Torsa nope, Tiagra nope, accurate  nope, Ocea nope. An 80W Tiagra only has 20kg. Whilst Im at it-who males a decent 2 speed jig reel.

Really. The Ocea has 7.0kg max. The Tora is 15.3kg max. According to the net the 665 has 11.2kg. Do you have a link which says otherwise as id be interested.

Are harness lugs for girls to?Read up a little about the Accurate 2 speed jig reels-raved about. The author must be a big girl too eh?

Mozz-Max drag whilst achieving free spool? Im not debating the fact anyway-more the point the OP said 16kg was far to low. Im suggesting it isn't.

Why would you need a two speed? harden up
The Accurates already have enough trouble with there cast control , the amount of stuff they put in there to get a two speed can only spell more trouble.
The reels put out with lug's on are far to big for a serious jigger, unless you were jigging in seriously deep water say 400m plus.
go get an Accurate crank up the drag and you will see, dont get one with that stupid cast controll thing.
