How to Set the Drag on a Lever Drag Reel

Rich shows us how to use a spring scale to set the drag on all lever drag reels!

Wow just bought 2 used Penn 20T and finally understood the strike button and lever…excellent!

[@jake9705]

One of the best explanations on the internet on how to set your lever-drag reel! Also: wish I'd seen this before I bought some garbage, overpriced Rapalla spring scales 😂

[@syedfuadin2358]

Yes, the best explanation on the internet.

Thank you! I just bought 2 new Penn Squalls and had no idea how to set this. Simple and informative...I'm subscribed now!

I have set strike drag at home, after 24 hours out on the boat drag pull increases 10% due to humidity increase.

Question? What would the best setting using 50 lb test braid with top shot of 50 lb mono on rods used for trolling planers? Mine see mt creep quickly using a size 4 or larger planer?

[@kenaromalcolm7534]

What brand of line is on that tld50. I want that same shade of blue

[@drumslayer4792]

What would you recommend for 100lb line i seen 25lb recommended but it seem to tight to me. This video is the best brake down for drag that I’ve seen.

[@mikev3694]

I’d set it at 15-17lbs what we run most on our 30,50 class reels then fight them from 22-30lbs depending on the angler. Some can only deal with the 17lb drag fighting a fish. Good luck

[@emilioantonuccio983]

Great !

[@user-qi2eu4ei2i]

Hi I have a banax tracker 40L reel do you have any information about this reel

[@GREMLINOUTDOORS]

Do I set the drag to 1/3 of my leader or my mainline. I have 65lb mainline and 40lb leader

[@vicb.2708]

The video said mainline.

[@bigpapamd1]

That billfishers rod is that a 20/50 or 30/50 Stand-Up rod

[@And-the-new]

Lever or Leaver?

[@dunpit3925]

Main line or leader?
