Good lessons here. It's all about the basics. And drag setting is one of the basics. Fresh good quality line, good solid knots, fully functional rods/reels. The basics tip the scales in your favor.

Thank you

I like 25% with a full spool. When you have half your spool out the drag increases and I wouldn't want it to increase enough to break my leader
