Couple weeks ago I had a fish pop all the rivets in my rail mounts, spun the whole rail around and rods were in water because I had my drag locked down....luckily saved the rods but it snapped my 65lb suffix braid like a twig! Then last week I had a fish destroy a high speed abu gear because my drag was over tightened! Sure sucks learning the hard way 
I'm gonna miss her....

Most shore fisherman would be shocked to see how light there drags were set, if they tested them on a scale!

About 3lbs of drag is a good general rule for initial takedown...u can alway adjust it once u sense tha size of tha fish.
Lots of variables happening in about 3 seconds...u need all tha grace u can get and a semi light drag = grace!
