I have several of the Liquid's predecessor, the Konic, and I love them. Arguably, the drag is as good or better than what you would find in any reel in this price range (and some Lamson fans would argue drag as good as reels that are twice the price). I don't think they are particularly immune to scratches and "visual" wear, but in 4 years of using them I have had zero troubles with mine from a functional standpoint. I understand that the drag Lamson uses is identical in all their reels, so if you are after an entry level reel with a very good sealed drag system, this is it.
