How impressed am I with Pfleuger's $100 Supreme offering? 

Not very much. 

After about 5 months of use, the drag knob starting turning along with the spool... tightening as fish took any drag. I lost one or two fish before I figured out what was going on. 

This was not a cleanliness issue, the actual drag knob began scraping away at the top of the spool. 

The drag knob was replaced under warranty, but I'm not looking forward to the day this happens again... who knows which fish this is going to cost me. 

$100 can't buy dependable gear anymore... and Pfleuger was a brand I respected.
