I agree w/ Nebe. A 30% drag setting would be a definite canidate for straighten hooks and ripped out plugs. I set by feel. When the 50 lb. braid gets wet, I give it a pull. I adjust the drag so the line just starts coming and hurts my hand . About 10-12lbs. If I need to stop a train before it finds a rock , I finger the spool or give it a 1/2 turn more. This figures in around 30%. I feel the key to how tight is tight ,is that a marginal fish isn't running around in a cat and mouse game. The longer they are on decreases their survival rate when released.
