204# is still probably 4 or 5 times more than you'd ever need. Big reels have what, 35# of drag? Try taking a 40# dumbell and lifting it off the floor with your halibut rod/reel

That is true. BUT, if a manufacturer claims that it should handle 295# but it fails at 204# don't you think that is false advertising? Should marketing be allowed to put whatever weight rating on *things*?
