Default Shimano 2000 spirex EX

Has anybody used the Shimano 2000 spirex EX reel. I was told it has a secondary fighting drag that is excellent for steelhead. And if so, where can I get one.

OTS,

I have one, which I like a lot, that I purchaced at Bi-Mart. The price was just as good as any I found. And, just because they do not have something displayed does not mean they can't order it. They can order many items that they don't display.

That is the only one that I am familiar with, but of course I have not really looked either. Maybe some else out there who is a reel junkie would know. You could check out Cablas too.

FRG

I have the Okuma epix EF30 which is the front drag model. There is also a rear drag model. There was no indication of a fighting drag reel on the Okuma site.
There is a lever in the rear but that is the switch that allows the reel to spin in reverse.
If Okuma had a front drag with a secondary fighting drag, (a lever at rear with the spool drag also) I would certainly want one.
Is this a new product?
