As most may know, I'm an avid flathead guy, always rigging J-style hooks for them! My question is to you circle hook, blue catmen is... If you tight lightline, what amount of drag do you consider the right amount for rods in a rod holder on a boat? I know there has to be a happy medium I hope, allowing them to load, and drag, allowing the hookup to the right way! Now, before you all jump and say it has to do with the rod length and the line, I have already considered that, and want only opitions for monofilament ranging 30-40 pound test. I want specifics for the angle of the rod presented, and the amount of drag that should be applied on an average for the take downs! I have a variety of rods I'm taking to the James next week. I want a basic system on how to determine on how much drag is too much, too quick. And what drag is proper allowing a better hook ratio. I'm fairly new to circles, but my experiences over the last two years have been, good and bad.. any help is appreciated..rollo
