Even if its says you risk breaking the pole. When i used 12lbs test line, i could reel in a fish at 2 drag, if a fish was under 23 lbs i could use drag 3 but with a high risk of it breaking the line. i would be able to pull in a fish of this size, but it would be a back and forth fight. so a 30 lbs fish at this setting would create a tension of 15lbs. Meaning at 3 drag, it causes 50% tension.

I may be wrong here, but from testing it would seem the drag does infact act like a Clutch.

With this set up i can reel in a 25lbs fish on 3 drag with no problem, even 4 drag on some.If i were to follow what the poles limit was, i would think 10.5 lbs test would cause the pole to break. Its pretty bad whehn people are more concerned with how much $ and EXP fish will give them based on what they are using than they are about the quality of the fishing itself.Recently i have seen a lot of complaints about the Drag, and how it works on cetain rods and reels.Īfter testing, i think most people do not understand why it works or how it works the way it does.įirst off the Max limits for rods and reels are missleading. See, herein lies the main issue with this game right now: there is far too much focus on the damn economy than the fishing. That would just compleltely defeat the purpose of the game, wouldn't it? Its up to the player/angler to get all relevent info on the species he /she is after, and set up accordingly to cover a few species in that bracket. Which it shouldn't tell you exactly what to use for each species. There are balanced ones, then there are better set ups. So far, I haven't seen one go green, but then again, I'm not using underpowered setups to see which I can push the limits with, which could give me more benefits. I've experimented in some of my own and with the new changes, if my set up is too OP - even though I like to use it for its resilience and sensitivity - I'm given less XP/money than I deserve.
