Tekota's are very nice reels, but he said under $200. I guess they are not much over $200 and if you own it for 20 years and fish a lot, money well spent.
I had not heard about the coldwater sticky drags, but if anyone has some they want to throw away, I will gladly take them! Fixing sticky drags is pretty simple. New carbon fibre washers and a good cleaning. Some reels seem to like greased drags, some not. I generally prefer dry drags for freshwater. I expect that the coldwater being a saltwater style, has greased drags. I expect changing to a dry stack will fix it.
