salmo g.- look at it this way. You are a guide and you take out a lot of clients that are getting into the sport because of the movie or because it is not considered fashionable. These are people that spend a lot of money on a guide and want results. It is much easier to have them use a disk drag than have them try to palm a reel.

I also have found that the disk drags are a lot easier to keep clean and working well. I havent ever had a problem with my Ross Big Games but I have had a lot of the click-pawl drags blow out on me when I have been fighting steelhead and atlantic salmon. Especially Reddingtons a few years ago
