SAME, same as all have said. i go by feel, and it feels like it's between 4#-6#. 4lbs to let her take the eeeeeel, and 6-10lbs to land our prey depending on the size and the fight. while chunking, my drag is tighter than with eeeeeeels and sluggos. and for pluggin' my drag is inbetween where i set it for chunking and eeeels.
Eeeels/Sluggos.........4 to 4.5
Plugs........................4.5 to 5.5
Chunks/Jigs..............5.5 to 6.5+
just rough guesstimates, and i don't think it varies much with line weight. for me, it's more about the place and the method. kinda hard to feel the ghost bumps, if yer drag is set to bring down a tuna. the best part is that you can always adjust the drag during the fight. while that may be considered taboo by many, it has yet to be a problem for me.
Great question, TO, and even better responses ~gents!!
