This light line cam is optimized for 12# monofilament. It is designed for anglers in tournaments with line limits or bonus point situations for line class. The Warning position provides 1/4 pound of drag and remains relatively flat to the 1/2 position. This is to allow the angler to quickly back off of the drag on a running fish without accidentally dropping into Freespool. While higher drag can be used, the curve is not optimal for that type of fishing, as by raising the preset Strike drag above the target settings will result in a loss of Freespool. Without a light line specific drag curve, anglers who use traditional curves may find that the reel will go into freespool between the Warning and 1/2 positions, which results in a loss of drag adjustability.
