does the drag actually double when the line coming off the reel is 1/2 the diameter as is when set in full spool dia. I mean set at full spool to 10lbs. then at 1/2 full spool the drag will hold at 20lbs. In exact proportions or "NEARLY THAT RATIO ?" That change would happen more rapidly when using thicker mono, the diameter reducing rapidly when line is being pulled off. So , when the reel is full leave the drag set, when the fish takes alot of line out and the spool is getting smaller, are you supposed to lessen the drag or not?
