With the HT100 drag, I think you are going to see 18-22#. That is the working range once you get the fish into a spiral under the boat. Seems I do better when I palm it at that point and am not trying to pumped the rod to lift the fish. Just grab a turn as the fish circles out from under the boat, and I hold on, and rest on the other half of the spiral....
