This is why catfisherman and ocean trophy fisherman use only baitcasters.Īlternatively, the spincaster as stated has no moving parts on the line release, meaning that the casting distance will generally exceed a casting rod. For larger fish and heavy gear this is required to avoid line wear and have a more reliable action on the drag. You will be suprized the limits of your gear.To add onto casting reel has direct line transition to the spindle, meaning that the line has no turn prior to meeting the drag. and fish at drag 2 untill you catch a fish. If your pole and reel say max limit 10lbs, try 20lbs test line. Use the 50% as drag 3 as your base as to if you will break your pole or not, then go from there. Even if its says you risk breaking the pole.
When i used 12lbs test line, i could reel in a fish at 2 drag, if a fish was under 23 lbs i could use drag 3 but with a high risk of it breaking the line. 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.
