The short answer is PENN.Almost everything else on the market is copying this venerated American company.
I would always go with star drag on trolling gear. Same thing with deep water fishing.Not only does it do a superior job,but it is very easily replaced and for less than $10 dollars you will get the parts in the mail and in 5 minutes you will have a brand new star drag.That is the sort of stuff that is hard to beat.
