what lbs drag you set strike position 5nii

G’day mate, I couldn’t tell you exactly as this is all done by feel. On the slowjigR rods I usually set the drag so the line is borderline touching the blank when loaded up. This may be around 12lbs at a guess for the yellow and 15lbs for the orange.
I don’t mind having it a bit tighter for initial hook penetration, then backing off a touch for the fight.
This is made super easy with the cavella having a lever drag.
