    drag and knot scales... i need help guys

    hey guys, this is an equipment question.

    i would like a scale to measure drag, because for the first time in my life i have reels that are going to put out enough drag that if i highstick i could snap 80lb braid!! hahahahaha
    I have NO idea where i would get one, if any of you guys know, please let me know.

    Same thing goes for my next issue. I just got my JB order in with all my ingredients to make my own wind on leaders(just cause i think its super cool to make your own) - but i have NO way to test how they are doing! so i was looking for some sort of scale that will show at what point they broke.

    If you guys have any input please let me know.

    Thanks so much for any and all help guys!

    There was one selling for $750.00 or so in the for sale section a few days back.
