Jigging Master Powerspell PE5 Noise vs Daiwa Saltiga Ishidai & Alutecnos Gorilla 12

Just a quick quirb on how noisy and/or annoying the Powerspell PE5 reel is.

The noise is actually coming from the "docking system" aka the double anti-reverse dogs in the reel that ensure that you always get the right hook set whilst fighting big kingfish!

Anyhow. Reels used:

PE5
Gorilla 12
Ishidai SA-40

Interesting. With so many jigging reels out there now, how would you you rate the different brands? I hear it seems the JM Power Spell is really the best there is out there and their claimed drag figures are frightening. I am also interested in how the Alutecnos Gorilla compares to the JM. Historically, I am more of an Accurate Boss guy. But, is the anti-reverse bearing really a huge issue as compared to the dogs? Plus it seems their max drag figures are a bit low these days.

@Rascallucci as the greatwhite dude said, it comes down to you and your skill. I think JM did two things better then the Accurate Boss guys: fixed the AR situation by adding dual docking and eliminate side load problems that crushed the right bearing. I like the BX2 but even with a single AR bearing I feel a bit ashamed to grab it when big fish are around. Alutecnos is a solid reel. Freespool while in strike and full isnt as well performing as the JM. I like the new Okuma makaira.

@greatwhitesharkist That's fair enough. But, like I just posted above, is the lower max drag a slight issue you think ? Well, provided JM's claimed figures are true. Aluctenos is claiming 40 lbs on the Gorilla 12 and 45 lbs on the Gorilla 20. JM's figures are even more ridiculous. I believe there is a reason why Accurate doesn't publish their drag figures, well cos they are lower. I think going forward though, I am sure they will find a way to up their max drag to a competitive level.
