Only 11lbs. Drag on Curado DC

It's all a personal preference thing. No one is wrong to want more than 11 lbs of drag. Personally I dont even notice that on a reel cause I keep mine looser than most. If I was flipping nasty stuff with heavy braid and big sticks I'd want a lot of max drag. The curado or tatula sv would be a solid choice

      Max drag is kinda like bearing count in that it’s just something for reel mfg to talk about. Has no practical application in actual fishing or overall quality.

      Except in extreme fishing conditions, you typically only need 4-8 lbs.  What rod do you own that you are willing to tie 11 lbs. to and yank at full force?  My bet is none.

      XH swimbait rod bottoms out lifting 8 lbs of weight or 1 gallon of water. Try lifting 1 gallon with your favorite rod! Why would anyone need more then 8 lbs of drag bass fishing? Tom
