Yea shimano has some reels with like 18lb drag or something ridiculous like that now (for the price) but from what I am reading the Shimanos aren't as reliable.

I have a couple of their 30W's as well and they aren't near as smooth as my Tiagras but again, they have so much drag, more than I can realistically hold without being harnessed, so I decided to convert them to my Amberjack and Grouper reels. Matched with 200# hollow core and a 250# mono topshot, I don't break anything off anymore unless something weird happens. I remember testing them once and I was able to get I think almost 40#'s of drag and still have freespool...
