![]() (yes you might get spooled if you using to weak gear for a big fish).Ĭalled "The UberSheet Project" (can be found on first page here in forums). Despite which fish you are trying to catch, you can in advance calculate how to be sure that your line wont break. Originally posted by Jeppe:It sounds more like you dont know how to calculate which drag is safe to use and not. If you would use drag #5 with this setup (10 kg of drag) your line will break, since it only can handle 9 kg. Cus that means you generate 8 kg of drag and that is below what your rod and line can take (the line in this setup is the weakest part). So if you for example have a rod that can take 11 kg Max, a line that can take 9 kg max and a reel (with 6 drag settings) that generates 12 kg max, you can have setting #4 on your drag as max. You need to make sure that what ever setting you have on the reel isnt greater than what the max lineweight that your rod can handle or what your line max is. Drag #1 = 2kg, drag #2 = 4kg, drag #3 = 6 kg and so on. That means the reel will generate 2 kg of drag for each setting (12 kg / 6 = 2kg). Let's say you have a reel that have 6 drag settings and max 12 kg of drag. (yes you might get spooled if you using to weak gear for a big fish).įor example, every reel has between 1-6, 1-8 and 1-12 different drag settings (maybe there is 1-10 as well, not sure). ![]() I started to do this after lost 3 crankbaits in a row just for beeing at drag 2 =D It sounds more like you dont know how to calculate which drag is safe to use and not.
