Fighting Big Fish on Light Tackle - How to Set The Drag
"Charles B. Summers" wrote in message news  Be a man Bob. Crank that sucker down as tight as it'll go and spool the reel with your thumb as you need to. All my drags get set that way! That's pretty much how I set mine too Charles! If it works for muskies in the weeds, stumps and logs, it'll work for bass too, I reckon..... -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com

Nah, I just developed a very educated thumb and sense for how much pressure I can put on a fish. I rarely break off a fish due to line snapping. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com

I learned fishing on the salt and you could hook in to very large fish on the lighter gear. Fishing for Stripers at the Berkeley Pier as a kid, you may get a 22# perch or an 80# Mud Marlin (ray).
