how much line did you pull off the reel with the 32# drag setting to tell it was smooth?
this is good info |
Not much, maybe 10 or 15 feet. First I checked the drag setting with a straight pull off the reel (no bend in the rod) then I had my girlfriend hold the drag scale and walk across the living room pulling line out the whole way, first with the straight pull and then a few more times angling the rod a little more each time just to see what the rod acted like with that much drag. I was not able to angle the rod much at that setting but I did feel the drag was smooth. With a big fish on the other end of the line it might be a whole different story....
