Any drag setting experts out there? I usually just give my line a pull and think "yeah, thats about right". This season I bought a 50# Shimano scale and want to use it to set my drags. If I have 20 lb test, should I set the drag at 20 lbs of pressure? This is probably a no-brainer, but I've never done it this way and I want to do it right. Thanks...
