Why Does the Crew Feel they Need to Adjust the Drags on the Fishing Reels?!

[@donniedarko444]

Aren't you supposed to dial it in after you get a strike?

[@Vexins]

Depends on the fish and methods. Live bait, you’re good to keep the strike drag the same unless you’re not using circles and are fishing for a very hard mouth fish. Trolling planers for mackerel, you actually will want to back off on the drag significantly with their soft mouths and the high drag to keep the planer set. Then if you’re on a typical lever drag style reel you’ll want to back off on the drag as line gets peeled away since the drag will increase the less line is on the reel. Really it just depends.

And why do ppl feel it necessary to reach over during a fight and turn up the drag for you?
