The easiest way of getting some idea is looking at the reels line capacity reccomendations. Like 20lb= 350yards.
30lb= 275 yards
40lb=200 yards etc.
Then going at this reccomended line weights and get started at 25%-35%. That is like I was saying the easiest way of interpreting the reels line classes to obviously then it would have that lines drag capacity. OF COURSE THIS IS TOO EASY AND NOT EXACT SCIENCE !!, ALSO THE ROD AND THE HUMIDITY ETC. will affect our drags, ( +/- .006% , HARDY HARR HARR) TOO MUCH BULLONEY to even figure. Forget The HUMIDITY CALCULATORS and all that : except pull on it and tighten the drag "until you think the line is 'starting' to stretch - then "YOUR THERE !!" that is the exact way of setting the guy next to me's drag, and get away if he looses a fish !!!
