You payed $24 dollars to much unless it came with line then you payed $20 too much...LOL
Im a shimano nut I have a few calcuttas, a calayx(my fav for river fishing), a catala, 15 lexicas (a shimano that they used to sell as a basspros reel but its made by shimano) and 2 cosairs, the drags slips alot especially if you get greese/oil on it while cleaning your reel. They also tend to reel backwards when setting the hook (also from greese on the back stop star washer)...so what Im saying is make sure you clean it and dont over oil/greese like I do the rest of my reels, It is the bottom line of shimano and you do get what you pay for......Try the calayx for drifting eggs, low profile same metal gears as the calcutta at half the price...I dont use my calcuttas for drifting eggs cause thats like using a race horse to plow the field....DJ
