How much temsion to appply to braid when spooling a baitcaster

[Jim Dempsey]

When playing with your spooler drag setup I have 2 suggestions:
1 - Imitate a multi disc setup ala Senator - approx 5 cf and 5 ss discs keyed to a shaft etc - I tried it but found that it was a pita to engineer.
2 - Imitate a leverdrag reel - a much easier engineering solution imho - this was the option I chose for my spooler. And it's still working fine 3 yrs down the line

Very much worth noting. Thanks!
