I like to set my drag to where I can pull it out from my reel with some pressure applied.
Like any creature, when faced with fear, it is going to try and run, so you have to be prepared for a fish to try and run away at least a few times before you get it to shore, or your boat. If the drag is set too loose, then you will never get the line reeled back in because it will always be taking line.ĭrag is one of those things where you have to set it just right where there is always enough pressure so that you can keep reeling your line in, and also loose enough to where when a fish does try and surge, it can take a little bit of line out. If you set it too tight, you do not give the fish any wiggle room to play, so if it tries desperately to surge away, and it cannot take at least a little line out, it’s going to snap and take your setup with it. Having the right drag set on your reel is extremely important. Here is a brief list of issues that could be happening:
Depending on what type of line and how old it is will play a huge part in trying to narrow down what is happening when you hook a fish. There are a few bold things that stick out when trying to figure out why fish keep breaking your line off when you are trying to land them.
