Solitude Reels has announced a new drag system for the SR4 and SR5 reels. The system features a new cork composite designed as a heavy-duty friction material that keeps steady and consistent pressure under tighter drag settings. The drag also has oversize discs that distribute heat buildup evenly and spread pressure over a larger area to increase drag. A new custom spring allows twice the drag strength of the previous system. All of these modifications work together to provide an ultrasmooth drag that can be opened up or dialed down when extra heat is needed on big fish. Starting price is $270. www.solitudereels.com
