The Revo's have a higher poundage drag than the Shimano's do! The lower geared revo's have a 24 pound drag while the higher speed revo's have 18 pound drags. The maximum pound drag that Shimano offers for the Curado line is 15 pounds. no trying to argue with you just stating facts. I've never heard of anyone complain about the Revo's drag...especially when compared to a curado.
