C/22, both reels have the same drags, just do you fish with primarily with double action reels? I do and have a hard time finding them AND/OR do a converion. You can convert the Bantam 50. You could even change out the bushing in them and have ball bearings and you'd be suprized on how well one can birdnest with the reel. John's up at Everret can do the conversion. Was doing a lot for a while, but all my friends have the conversion so don't know the prices of the parts. Also check with the availability,if I didn't buy him all out, he may have to order. :p

P.S. the best thing about converting a 50 is that you CAN keep the bait clicker feature and have the same features of a 1000.
