I can surf the net and get: set your drag at strike to be 1/3 of your line rating....
real world experience I lack.... can yall help me please.
heres the setups:
1.) Avet LX 6:1 (600 yds of JB Hollow 80#- will add 3 foot of 80#hitest then iron jig) what should strike be set at... the rod is a Sea Majic 400 gram that will hold 20 dead weight without line touching.. wouldnt want to put more than that load o it.... figure thats about max for the rod.
2.)Tiagra 16 topless frame on Bar Bar 30-50 rod 6'7"... rod fished on the lighter side and with 20# dead weight the line touches all over the place.... I would like to use this to chunk with and wont be bothered if the rod breaks....... 60# flourocarbon will be the weak link...
spinning rig I vary the drag on depending on the fight (i have experience with this one)
3.) super seeker 63xxh with AVET 50 SDS (600yds of 130#) will run straight to the swivel so I can use: 200#mono for bottom fishing
and at night I will tie on 10' of 80#hitest if the big ones show.
