a recent post on the "general" board has me wondering: what is the preference out there for drag systems when it comes to steelhead, salmon and sea trout? I recall reading an article on Dennis Dickson's site a few years back in which Dennis was advocating high end drag systems with the line straight to the reel, the drag set high enough to "barb" the fish on the take. This makes sense to me, but I still tend to carry a loop of line and if using a reel with a drag set it just enough to avoid spool overrun.
What are your thoughts--are drags important for the king and princes of fishes?
