I set it by feel. A scale? Just one more thing I don't need to be carrying.

Exactly!
Interesting though.I did some searching on-line at some fishing sites.
25-33% set for strike drags on boat rods.15%-18% on light tackle spinners.
I've always gone by feel too.
GET OUT THERE,
and FISH!

By feel. You catch enough fish, you will know exactly where your drag needs to be...
No boat, back in the suds.

Yea, nothing worse than throwing a 3 ounce plug with fireline on a spinner and forgetting to crank the drag down
