i would be able to pull in a fish of this size, but it would be a back and forth fight.
so a 30 lbs fish at this setting would create a tension of 15lbs. Meaning at 3 drag, it causes 50% tension. I may be wrong here, but from testing it would seem the drag does infact act like a Clutch. With this set up i can reel in a 25lbs fish on 3 drag with no problem, even 4 drag on some.If i were to follow what the poles limit was, i would think 10.5 lbs test would cause the pole to break. Recently i have seen a lot of complaints about the Drag, and how it works on cetain rods and reels.Īfter testing, i think most people do not understand why it works or how it works the way it does.įirst off the Max limits for rods and reels are missleading.
