Tippet / Line strength
Our testing has revealed that the advertised
tippet/line strength is often not equal to the
actual strength under fishing conditions.
It depends on such factors like aging,
weathering (incl. exposure to UV-light),
knots, amount of impulse and steady stress
during a fight. Therefore
it is very important to
consider this and
test your tippet/line before
choosing and setting the maximum drag
.
You can do so on your own by attaching different
weights on the tippet / line hanging from the reel
and determine the actual static braking strength.
Your maximum drag should be not more
than 50 % of that strength.
