Sorry Patrick, I bow to your superior knowledge. Did you invent the fish finder?

Thank you for explaining to me that reeling against the drag causes line twist. Ever since I started fishing when I was 5, I always thought that was caused by fish that grabbed my lure and swam in circles. I wish my calculus teacher would have given me the equation: reeling + drag = line twist.

I think we are just not on the same page here.

I think you are talking about fishing out of a rod holder in which case, I see that the fish must take line as not to alert him before you get off your lawn chair and get to the rod.

I'm talking about casting and swimming eels in which case I see no value of using a light drag.

Moral of the story: use conventional gear
