The adjustable friction mechanism on a fishing reel that allows line to be pulled out under tension when a fish runs, preventing the line from breaking.
Подробное объяснение
The drag system consists of a stack of alternating metal and composite friction washers clamped against the spool by an adjustable mechanism (star drag or lever drag). Optimal drag setting is typically 25–33% of line breaking strength — enough to tire a fish through friction work while preserving safety margin for knot strength and shock loads. Carbon fiber (carbonite) and NTN ceramic drag materials provide smooth, consistent pressure across a wide temperature range. Sealed drag systems on saltwater reels prevent corrosion from salt and sand. Big-game species like bluefin tuna or marlin require drags capable of sustained loads exceeding 15 kg without overheating.
