Max Drag

Max Drag is the maximum amount of resistance the reel’s drag system can apply (usually listed in kilograms or pounds). Drag controls how much pressure is applied before line slips, helping prevent line breakage during runs.

• Higher max drag helps control larger fish and heavy structure fishing.
• Smooth drag is just as important as strength for protecting lighter lines and leaders.
• For best results, match drag capability to your line strength and target species.
