just got it in the mail. so far so good, fit and finish is excellent, nice incoming and outgoing click. drag adjustment is smooth and holds still, lots of adjustment. havent gotten it on the water or hooked into any fish yet, will update this thread when i do. imageshack is only letting me upload this pic right now

You can check the drag while playing with neighborhood kitty-cats.
Have fun with this stuff.

300 smacks? That's reel money. Would love to hear how it performs.

Looks like it holds 215 - pretty amazing. I like the attitude they have at Colton as well ... makes me want to try out a reel and rod.

Colton makes a hell of a reel for the money. You can't go wrong with one!
