Nautilus that I had did have plastic drag knob, guess it was an early model. Sage reels are machined in South Korea by an aerospace contractor who's technology is "slightly more advanced" than the local machine shop in the U.S. My cousin is a toolmaker in Erie, and they still use manual lathes, and it is his opinion that quality comes down to quality equipment used in manufacturing processes. Just what I have been told and that early Nautilus was a P.O.S.
