Yep, once we set it with the rod bent with a scale, I then could tell from a pull that I was within a pound or so of 10 lbs.
10 lbs. is what I like jigging the canal with 65 lb whiplash and 50 lb leader, I want to be able to stop a cow on the bottom fairly quickly so they don't wrap me up or get behind a rock and sulk. At that setting it takes atleast a 20-25 pounder to get even a foot of line. I don't want them to get their head and go with the current which is usually going pretty good. For plugging in the canal I use about 5 pounds.
On the beach I use less and adjust as needed.
Seal fishing requires more drag and stiffer rod
