Yeah that's what I have always done too, just pinch the line off if I had to. I always have had a fit with any adjustable drag while I'm fighting a fish, it's like driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time for me.
I had to cut my study short as the auctions were just rolling by, but there is a lot more, pros and cons, may even find tweaks, who knows, was just starting to read about adjustments when had to decide jump on deals. but am really looking forward to trying, I can fully see having a simple levered drum brake to go with it you could push with your thumb on the back like the release on a closed face spinning reel that would work with it if needed extra brakes, would be simple, could use leather as a liner on the pad and would just push down manually on the outside of the reel , leave enough room for over winding etc. Oh is that like the rim drag you are talking about ???? Ill have to go check it out,
Yeah that's my pro on this particular setup is I dont like farting around adjusting drag in the middle of fish wars,
most fascinated to see it . Will be coming apart in little pieces soon as it arrives, just like dad's drill [laugh],
Other pro is... ... I break stuff lol , not likely to break this. Even the ones that look like they were drug behind a truck all their lives say "still works fine" in the auction.
