First, why in the world would you use a reel with such a low drag Lb. rating for a flipping/ pitching reel. You are asking for problems. Second, I have a Zillion, Tierra, TD Advantage and Aggrest. I also have Revo Sx's and Curado E's. The Aggrest definately has a place but I can assure you it's not heavy line applications. I use mine for top water or light jerk baits paired with a 7' Zillion rod and it works great. I am still researching a drag upgrade, (possobly Carbontex) but for now the aggrest works. You do need to watch for maintance issues like over/ under oiling it and making sure all the comopnents are tightened but if maintained, it is good for the price. Also loosen your drag completely after each trip to the water. This will extend the life. I have noticed the screaching sound if the tuumb bar isnt engaged but if you make a habit of making sure the clutch is disengaged each cast, the problem is eliminated. I have to admit, I didnt like the reel at first but it really grew on me because of the weight, feel, speed, style and castability.
