Reel Drag per technique

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

Looking to get a look at what drags should be set on a baitcast reel and spinning reel for specific techniques.

For example, I've heard a lot about setting the drag full for frog fishing. I've also seen that different applications require different settings. Can you share?

Specifically looking for drag settings on baitcast for-

1-frogs

2-jigs

3-plastics

4-plastic craws

5-spinnerbaits

6-crank baits

7-swim bait

8-swim jig

9- top water

10-buzzbait

Spinning set up for-

1- wacky rig

2 - drop shot

3- carolina rig

4- Etc...

Looking to get some insight into what drags to set. Most times i feel lost on high tight to set the drag. Would love to learn some rules of thumb when it comes to specific techniques.

Thanks!!

For the baitcaster pretty much everything but treble hook lures is full drag no give. As long long as your using a heavier mono or fluoro. Treble hook lures I set the drag to the rod. When the rod bends like 90 degrees that's when the drag should slip.
