A certain magazine had a online article about startup inertia, and gave
the figures for a ton of reels. The article also gave the dead weight
stopping power of the drag. A startup inertia of under %2 was very
good, and a dead weight stopping power of the drag of over 10 pounds
was good. I remember the ross canyon had a drag weight of like 13
pounds, and a hardy had a drag of about 2. Anyone have startup
inertia's and dead weight drag for reels? I am especially interested
in that of the old florida super arbor, the ross big game, the loop
evotec lw as well as loop original 3 wide, and lastly the orvis
battenkill barstock.

This would be for a 6 weight spey rod and a 7 weight spey rod, using
