Information about drag performance
Heat Build-Up
When a sh goes on a screaming run, friction from the drag causes heat to
build up in the reel. All Fin-Nor reels have drags that are designed for extreme
conditions to minimize and dissipate heat rapidly. If a sh is allowed to run
excessively, the heat could build up faster that it is possible to dissipate, and
you could potentially see a small affect on the drag setting. If this happens, it
will return to normal once the parts cool back down as they are designed to
do.
Cranking Against the Drag
If you hold the spool and turn the handle until the drag slips, you may feel a
slight bumpiness. This may also be felt if you are cranking against the drag
but not turning the spool while shing. This is normal on all lever drag reels
and is no indication of the drag smoothness. The drag smoothness can only be
judged by pulling line off of the spool, turning the drag only.
