Having your setting at 9 will mean that you generate 9 kg of drag. This means your reel will generate a drag of 1 kg for each drag setting.

Your reel have max drag 12 kg and have 12 drag settings. Your rod will not break as long as you stay with in the limits of what your gear can handle (it will have the normal wear and tear on it, but not 'snap' on instance).Įxample (I take this in kg, but the idea is the same for lbs). Will Thora, Jigwinner and Loki hold big fishes like Salmons? The Thora and Loki will hold for the salmons in Alberta, yes. Rods like Thora, jigwinner, loki are the probably the ones that will let you cast longest (the longest version of these).

The weight of the lure is also a factor, using heavier lure often results in a longer cast, as long you are with in the lure weight limits of your rod.īraided line will also help you to cast a bit further.

The amount of guides on the rod is also a factor, more guides = more friction and results in a shorter cast.

Originally posted by Jeppe:The general rule is the longer the rod is, the further you can cast.
