1million pounds at strike

1/3 line strength at strike, what do you mean mark your drag... get a little fish scale and go for a walk with it tied to line

[BIGJAHOOTIE]

ALL THE WAY THROUGH MAYBE MORE, I USE 200 /200 THOUGH
BIG 130 PUSH TO 40-50
HOPE THIS HELPS

[tuna-or-later]

My 130s are set at 42lbs @ strike.

[Animal 1]

Who carries a 100# scale?I set the 130's around 50# at strike,but that leaves me clueless about full?

[Parapapam]

Set my 50's at 25 pounds and my 30's at 22 pounds.

I don't own 80's or 130's....

If I understand things correctly an 80 and 50 have the same drag sys in Tiagra models. I set my 80's and 50's the same.

(almost no point in buying an 80) but I could be wrong.

[sportsman250]

the 50 LRS has the same "drag curve" as the 80, not the same drag system

the 50 LRS has the same "drag curve" as the 80, not the same drag system

I stand corrected. please fill me in.

I know they have different ratios but believed they were basically the same reel only with more line cap. and in the case of the 80 a lower ratio.
