Fishing Reels 101: Drag
Drag: What does it mean and why is it important?
Drag refers to the amount of tension and when it comes to spinning reels, front and rear adjustments are both available. Remember, front or rear, you want the drag to be easily adjusted so it stays in place. Loose drag knobs will frustrate you and you are sure to lose your fish if it slips!
Points to remember:
~Rear drag is typically better for light line
~If you are fishing for large fish, front drag is the better choice
