Feedback wanted. Do the new Peetz mechanisms creep when trolling?

[Olde School]

Hello.

I'm in a situation of having to buy a pair of reels to use for guiding in Haida Gwaii.
Fishing will be a mix of trolling and mooching, but mostly mooching.
I'm a Peetz guy from way back, but realize that most guests will not be comfortable with the original action.
The new stainless Peetz reels are beautiful, and with the modern single action should work for guests.
My question is: do they creep when used for downrigging?

Thank you in advance.

I had the conversion done a couple of years ago and fished the reel for an entire summer with no creep issues.Having said that though the drags on Peetz reels aren't near as buttery smooth as the cork drags on say a Trophy QR or Islander MR3.Personally
I like the new one way drag system that Peetz has come up with but the drag quality cant compare to the higher end reels.It's a trade off basically.
