15 lbs of drag is alot to hold on to. Not as bad on a boat rod, but still wears on you. An 8 foot rod with the reel at 24 inches has a mechanical advantage of 4. How long do you want to deal with the 60lbs of force your top hand has to hold on to? In any case, the drag shouldn't be set more than 1/3 the rating of the weakest link. So got a 30lb rod, 10lbs drag max. That is still more than enough drag.
