I caught some good sized white fish and even with them it seemed like the reel would be holding back then all let go at once. Or I would constantly be fiddling with the drag to try and get it right.
Hoping to get some make / model recommendations for a good all around reel. Nothing crazy expensive.
Usually there are those brands that are great quality for the price, for example my rod is a TFO. Great rod but not an expensive st Croix or sage.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Even the cheapest Lamson has a drag system matching high-end reels.
