I pull my line to set my drag and times I've checked that setting put me at about 7-8 lbs, which is about right. I sometimes adjust it lighter or heavier depending on the conditions. If I'm fishing in tough spots and need to work a fish out of the cover fast, then I will tighten it up some. The reverse might be true off a nice clean sandy beach, where I just want it tight enough to get a good hookset.
