A Reel Drag

I've read that the drag on a reel should be set to 30% of the breaking
strength of the line.I for one,have never,ever bothered to check my drag with a scale.I go by feel.Naturally,it has to be tight enough as not to slip during a cast(spinners),especially with braid when throwing
3 and 4oz. metal and plugs.But not so tight as to break during the initial hit and run.Maybe the boat guys check with a scale for tuna and such.
How do you determine drag settings?

GET OUT THERE,
and FISH!
