Drag settings on popping

Halezan Hassan:

Luke Wyrsta:
Are you going to Terengganu?

I agree that drags should be as heavy as possible, but you should really experiment and trial what kind of pressure you and your gear can handle (no point setting 15kg initial strike drag if you can
t physically handle it). Your strike drag should be as high as possible so that you can have the best chance of setting the hook and turning the fish from the intial run but one of the great things is that drag is 'active' meaning that you can set it to whatever the conditions dictate. Start running drag pressure through your gear and get to know how they all feel :D

Halezan Hassan:
Ya right mate! Terengganu. You've been there before?

Thanks for your advice. I have a few option on drag settings but the most welcome option comes from here, Brandon, Sachin and you. Thanks a lot mate  8)

Sachin Chaudhry:
Wish we all had a problem with too many 20 - 40 kg fish and a smattering of 60kg plus. This place sounds like heaven !!
