Sniper Fry Registered: 01/08/02 Posts: 20 Loc: Phoenix, AZ	Good day, I saw that this topic was coverd a while ago but I thought there is some new talent out there that might offer a little advice. Do you prefer front or rear drags on Shimano spinning reels? I am pretty new and the help and opinions would appreciated. Thanks and tight lines.

Coot Juvenille at Sea Registered: 05/23/01 Posts: 143 Loc: Kelowna British Columbia	I use either on my diawa reels but I set them light and use my thumb on the side of the drum to get instant adjustment. You cant beat an educated thumb.
