Spool not fully machined on President spinning reels

Hi everyone. Lately I've noticed that the spools don't appear to be fully machined on President spinning reels. I could be wrong.Pflueger Presidents are one my favorite spinning reels. I was wanting to get a couple more. Specifically a 3000 size that I would fill with 8#FC for dropshotting. Then put on my noodle rod for steelhead. So the drag has to be good. In my search and inspection I noticed a prominent lip/edge where the flat comes together with the round lip on the front of the spool. It feels sharp.  Every new reel I looked at has this. The only time where it would affect the line is casting I think.  During a fight the pressure would be on the bail. Admittedly, I don't use an eggbeater too much. But I do know that steelhead and salmon will exploit a reel's weakness. I took a pic hopefully you can see the lip/edge on front of  the spool. Where the gold meets the silver.  Are there any other reels that have a good drag for around a 100$?Thanks and sorry so long of post.
