Actually, it is hardly surprising that this is the case. Somehow, for this class of tackle i.e. Stella, Saltiga, Accurate, Tiburon etc. people equate the higher dollar value with higher drag settings  And it appears that the higher the drag setting, the harder the fish pulls & as such the higher the chances of gear failure. For example, looking at the pictures & information posted on Samson fishing & the drag settings they supposedly use, what's surprising is that they don't fail more often!!! Then again, the fact is that it is pretty clear many of the manufacturers has made "overclaiming" of max drag the norm  Opinions differ of course. Best regards, Makaira | |
