Basic rule for drag settings should be like this, Attach a scale to the end of your line, lift the rod up and set the drag to 1/3 the breaking strenght of your line for example 12lb. test, scale should read 4lbs. and then the drag give's way. Drag setting is very important so you don't pull the hook out of the fish. Anyone want to add any information to this. Just trying to make you land more fish. Also once the drag is set correctly Don't Don't i mean Don't touch it. How many times do you hear darn my drag wasn't set correctly.
