[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5342943, member: 19427"] Like Hammer33, I back off the drag on my reels after fishing so there is an adjustment happening each day and I will also check the drag between fish a lot of times. I don't imagine this is a thing in freshwater but adjusting the drag throughout the fight is a common practice for big game fishing. The fish will often go on a 100yd+ run when first hooked and you need a fairly loose drag so you don't break the fish off. After the fish burns their energy, you can tighten up a bit and put the wood to them. [/QUOTE]
