I prefer the simplicity of a click pawl and a palming spool. IRs are click pawls, I could never figure the need for a sealed drag that could turn a shark in a reel used for fish under 24"
I did not realize that. I have a couple of ir1's and do really like them. One of my favorite rods is a 486 z-axis with a IR1 with sharkskin. Its my go to Crow rig. The Ir1's are jewels.
