You really don't need those fancy disc drags for salmon or steelhead, I keep my drags light to prevent over run of line and palm the rim or hold the line against the spey rod upper butt section. Most of the time though I am using 4-10 lb leaders. Landed lots of steelhead and salmon within nothing more than the old Pluegers and Martins click/pawl drags. Have to chase them many times though.
