dropshot reel ballistic vs stradic fk

[pigeonlake]

Hey i bought both reels for this season.  One of them i want to use 6 pnd test for dropshotting.  Wondering whic h has the smoothest drag

An option might be trying both and coming to your own conclusion. Since you have both reels already and all. I doubt you will see much of a difference anyways.

I have an FK 3000 and its drag is solid for bass but the felt washers wear out quickly on other fish (Carbontex washers are a great upgrade for about 10 bucks). I am getting the Ballistic in about a month but with it having carbon washers from the factory I would bet it will have a slightly smoother drag even if its max drag is slightly lower.

I think the stadic is the answer, but I think you are over estimating the relevancy.  Both are fine and don't see you bending the hook with either setup

Reels at that level will be pretty much on level with 

each other. I'm a Stradic guy, but would have no

problem using a Ballistic.
