Then go back and forth taking line in till fish starts to run again. Keep it up most the time, but soon as the fish slacks a bit you should drop tip of your pole to get extra line in. I strongly disagree with keeping RMB held the entire duration of a fight. Fish will strip less line during its runs, making for a much shorter fight. With the 32lb test braid I can crank the DP6500 drag up to 2 points from max, and this hardly puts the line into the orange.no instant wear. I know.did this exact thing with first sturgeon I ever hooked. If running 20lb test then you can only turn the DP 6500 drag up to about 3/4 when 35+lbs fish in on.any higher and you will go into the red and pop the line in a heartbeat. JUst reel when the fish gives you some room to do so, should take you no more than 5 minutes to land almost any of them.īut you CAN apply more pressure on the line/fish with higher test line. Really simple, keep RMB down at all times, period. In fact since your max drag is still the same (unless you went max which would just break your reel) you are not applying any additional pressure to the fish at all.
