Okuma Alpha V @ 35KG of drag?

[Alan Hawk]

Anyone ever seen this reel? It's different than the regular V line that ends at V-80. The Alpha V is only two models, 1000 & 16000, and they are not sold out of Taiwan

35kg of drag can't be right. No way anyone could fish that much drag standing up anyway. Wonder how long it would last if the drag was locked up at 35kg?

Mule dung IMHO

Alpha is based on the salina ll new model

Cheap knock-off of a stella.

I agree with Jeremy. Probably a typo, should be 3.5kg drag, considering they're rating the line capacity as 210m of 12lb for the larger size.
