When to Lower/Tighten your Drag

I’ve learned by feel according to the test of the line and the pull of the fish against my standard setting. I believe strongly in letting the fish tire itself and not “horsing” it in as my daddy said. When we were fishing bass in lake michigan I hooked at 20lb king salmon with my 6ft light/med Philipson pole and ultralight shakespeare spinning reel with...8lb test. I was 24yrs old and my dad never once had to tell me how to fight it. The salmon spooled me down to the knot and I yelled for my dad to crank up the motor and get me some line back. Did that twice. I only had 100yds of 8 mono. Took me 30min to boat it.
Learn to fight the fish with your equipment and you will lose very few fish.

Now that must have been a great fishing experience.. And what makes it better is that you were with your dad.. Great fishing memories..

A number of times over the years I have been spooled by big fish and skates. It's all in a day of fishing..

I like your method also.... But we both must agree that it is a great thrill when the fish starts his run and starts to spool the reel....

I never make my drag too tight. What I do is thumb or cup the spool with my hand to prevent the fish and slow the fish down from spooling my reel of line.. But when this happens it is a great experience.. Best of luck to everyone and stay healthy, Sy..

Saltwater spot opinions
It doesn't matter where you are going to fish.. The main idea is that you are out there wetting your line.. Best of luck wetting your line..

But the bottle of nail polish will last longer than an open tube of super glue..

Any knot that I tie that the mono is over 30 pound test I put a drop of clear nail polish on it and it prevents the knots on pretied leaders from becoming loose or opening....... And on braid no matter the pound test it gets a drop of nail polish to secure the knot..

There is Large Mouth Bass, Crappies and Carp.. Also plenty of Goldfish that are in the Carp family.. The only fish they want you to kill are the Snakeheads that art great fighting fish...

Baitholder circle hooks?

sy - what's the advantage of doing that?


Sometimes I feel the the gap of the hook is too small and I'm having a little difficulty getting a bunker chunk on the hook so I will open the gap to accommodate the bait size..

OK what bait are you using? You should have no more problem with Circle Hooks than with J hooks.
I have noticed that a #2/0 circle hook has about the same opening size as a #2 J Hook. So far I have NOT seen any barb less Circle hooks. I normally buy 2/0 to 5/0 Circle hooks. Would love to find 4 to 1/O hooks, but Walmart doesn't carry them.


Many times I adjust the gap of the hook opening it a bit..
