Muddvein,
I have 4 PT baitcast reels and love them, I purchased the new PT-X metal this winter and have been using it for the past 3 weeks. I did notice one little problem with the drag, I had it tightened all the way down and line was still able to come off of the spool. I called the factory and they said to send it back and they would check it out and send a new one to me 48 hours after they get it back. The reel was sent out UPS today, lets see how they keep their promise.
