If you adjust your drag by pulling line at the reel,you should be aware that raising your rod tip and putting that 90 degree angle between the fish and your reel,you now have two different drag tensions.The tension between your rod tip and hook will be higher than the tension between rod tip and reel.This is not a bad thing,you just have to remember that when you want to let the fish run,the rod tip goes down.
