Guess what happens
Just imagine this, you get yourself a very powerful reel with a max drag of 155lb. That comes to roughly about 70kg of drag pressure. Let’s just say that your lines are 150lb break strength, you weight about 60kg or even 70kg, and you are out on a rocking boat; big game fishing. Your rod suddenly starts to bend. You grab on to the rod and remove it from the rod holder and secure the butt to your fighting belt. What would happen when the drag is pushed all the way to the max?
