That STH design is wild! Does it work well?

It doesn't have a strong drag, I was wondering if it loosened up over the years.
It has enough drag for use as a switch/spey reel and there is always my friend the palming rim.
I am going to contact Orvis to see if extra springs are available and or make a visit to the local hardware store to see if I can get a little more out of the drag.
It has the same basic design concept as the STH Airweights/Orvis Presentation.

Both pawls are grooved on the back where they rest against the spring.
Both pawls are intended to be engaged, if you rotate a pawl it will turn and become engaged when the spool is turned.
The wind and play are adjusted by flipping the pawls over.
