I just tied off to the trailer and jumped in the boat and set full drag to just above where i can barely hold on and have always fished with that, you want plenty in reserve so you don't have to use your thumb.

I wouldn't get caught up with numbers as long as all your gears in good condition and you have practiced your knots on PE8

Hi

Wondering what others run drag settings at for kings? I have an accurate 500n pit bull on an off shore elite 24-37kg rod. Braid is PE 8.

Currently have the drag running off the rod tip at 7-8kgs at strike, thinking about cranking it up for White Island kings this summer and wondering what others run there overhead jig sets at?
