RAP ON DRAGS

The relationship between drags and line is

a subject that is often shrouded in rumor

and confusion. In fact, the workings and

nature of drag mechanisms are difficult to

pinpoint.

However, there are some

definite facts of which you should be

aware.

First of all, the amount of line on the spool

does affect the drag. How so? When the spool is full, the line will pull off the

edge of the spool. When the level of line is reduced,the "leverage" that the line

has on the spool is reduced. Therefore, the force that has to be applied to the

spool to release drag will be greater.

In many reels, heat buildup can cause a drag force increase. How? A strong,

hard running fish can pull off a lot of line in a hurry. That normally causes a lot of

heat, which, in turn can cause the drag mechanism parts to expand.

expansion of the parts causes (again, in many other reels) the drag pressure to

increase.

The TLD 2 Speed reel's drag mechanism is designed so that heat generated by

the drag will not cause the drag pressure to increase. This is one problem you

won't have to worry about with these reels.

Extreme, sudden acceleration will sometimes cause the drag to increase as well.

For this reason, some expert anglers will drop the reel into free spool as soon as

they feel the fish about to take off. However, this is primarily a tactic to be used

when fishing very light line.

Shimano drags are engineered to be the smoothest, longest running drags in the

world. If you follow the drag setting guidelines in this manual and keep the above

points in mind, your Shimano reel should give you trouble-free performance for

many years.
