Summary

Bouncer gives some excellent advice including: Use a hand scale every time Point the rod directly at the scale and pull back until the drag slips at 20% of the breaking strength Use the scale to observe how the drag changes as your customers or friends pull on the line and bend the rod Practice so much that you can know exactly how hard the angler is pulling by the bend in the rod.
