How do you plan to fish for them, with a light spinning reel ? Let us know your budget, we can recommend some appropriate gear. I set my drag to 25 lbs on conventional 50 lb gear and 20 on spinning to start, then crank it up more after the long 1st run. Biggest thing I've found with light tackle is using a rod with enough backbone. You are correct you want to turn his head and keep pressure on it with small gains once in the circle.
