Fighting Big Fish on Light Tackle - How to Set The Drag
"Calif Bill" wrote in message SNIP 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 Then maybe you are using to heavy of tackle. 6'6" Medium Light to 7' Medium Heavy with a Curado 200 or Cardiff 100 reel? 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).
