And PM Capt Asparagus he has used them too.
You gota wonder how to test 30kg of drag from a kayak..LOLLOL 
 
Yeah I knowLOL But what he will have is info on how it held up in exposed conditions he spends a lot of time on the water and I have noticed in his latest Fishing News articles him carrying one onboard. Some reels just won't stand the test of constant serious spray and the odd dunking you get on the yak.

Yes the Fin Nors are definitely a good cheap option if you are looking for serious drag!  The only other reasonably cheap reasonable drag reels on the market are the Okuma V system reels, and the new Salina II's.... both priced pretty well..
