the drag issue

[zooker]

ok the question of just how tight the drag should be. was a debateable subject for sure and to be honest i could not give a decent answer..this got me to thinking today..which can be dangerus enough..but i was also asked the same question by another-unknown- to this board.. with said "unknown's" help. i used a new 15 pound digital scale pulling straight from the top eye anchored to what ever bait was rigged up.till the drag slipped.
here was my results..
mono
topwater rod 1.9 pounds-pflugher trion reel
c-rig rod 2.6 pounds-quatum mag gear reel
deep crank rod .8 pounds-shimano corsair reel
shallow crank rod .6 pounds-quantum mag gear reel
medium crank rod .7 pounds-ambassador torno reel
spinnerbait rod 4.3 pounds-quantum tour burner reel
spare casting rod 3.1 pounds-pinnacle 100 reel
shakey head spinning rod-1.3 pounds quantum pti spinning reel
braid
t-rig rod 6.1 pounds -daiwa advantage reel
frog rod 9.1 pounds-bps extreme reel
pnj rod 11.3-pflugher trion reel

i was kind of suprised that i had the c-rig set so lightly.i figured i had most of the drags set up pefectly to my own taste..
