Has anyone used any David Fritts reels for Crankin?

I like what I have heard about it but I am a little sceptical about it. It says it can handle UP TO 10# of drag pressure (the key word here UP TO!) , also it has a 8 bearing setup now, the one thing that bothers me is the heavier spool for smaller crank baits, this is where I think I should use the Zillion, don’t know? I’ve been using the Daiwa Zillions on the crank bait rod which are just awesome, but I want to specifically have two crankin rods from shallow to mid and mid to deep and after one of my rods decided to take a swim without tellin me I some how convinced the warden that I needed to spend another grand at Bass Pro this week. This is where you all come in and say everythings perfect and have the solution for no money needed? now let me have it! I am not looking to brake the bank on just these two setups, cuz the I still need to replace the one that went for a swim, any combos you may think of do not hold back!

Fiberglass, I use a cheap $40 Ugly Stick Lite 6’6” MED. Good rod to start with. Maybe then work your way up to a fiberglass/graphite composite. That Quantum KVD crankin stick looks like a good rod. Fiberglass.
