Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    It is very important to set the drag properly on a fishing reel. A lot of fish are lost because the drag wasn't properly set on the reel. It is not a very difficult. Task and can be easily accomplished by following some simple guidelines. You would find instruction as to how the drag should be set from the manufacturers of the reel and the drag.

    Most of them advise that it should be set at one-third of the line's test weight. This means that supposing that a reel has a 12 pound test line would ideally require a drag that is set at four pounds of pull. First to set the drag you would have to attach it to the rod with the help of a holder. Then pull on the line tying up a loop and a hook.  Adjust it until it is properly done.
