I set my drags at 1/4 the breaking strength of the line (or leader if it's lighter than the main line) I do this with a spring scale, after a nights fishing I back them off.. if danger is unavoidable (lobster pots, rocks or nit wit watching the fight) a light finger applied to the spool will suffice... 1/4 the line rating is a pretty tight drag, most people dont realize just how tight that is....
