Default Sloppy Loose Drag Setting

At one time or another, I know we have all experienced the let-down of losing a fish when it unbuttons from one of our crankbaits due to not having our -DRAG SETTING- loose enough.

I have heard the term -SLOPPY LOOSE- used to describe this level of drag setting. okay then, my question to all of you is how loose is -SLOPPY LOOSE- when it comes to setting your drag on your cranking rod and how do you go about setting it.


Thanks in advance.

i keep mine to where if i hook something, and it pulls back, the spool spins. if you feel that its a small fish then just thumb it in.
