what is the difference between fixed spool, rear drag and front drag fishing reels?
hey man. i can not tell you the set up or the components of but i can tell you that front spool drag is alot stronger. there are too many gear in the reel with a rear drag reel. with the front spool reel you have less gears between the knob and the spool. less is actually more in this situation. and even with the front drag it is easier to adjust your drag in the heat of the battle with a fish. trust me..stay away from the rear spools and don’go around the fix spools. you want and need the drag adjustments when battleing a big fish. fix drags will cause nothing but broken lines. hope that helps out alittle goodluck and good fishin
