do you find yrself using that drag at all for initial tension to stop uku and big kala wrapping up in the coral, or just palming the spool from the get go?
Sorry for catching this late. I have the Large size of the MVD reel. Since it's free spool, once there's a tug, it's free spooling, which I like. If anything, I'll palm the reel or just grab the line and pull if I'm trying to avoid the fish getting tangled in the coral. Uku definitely rips line out and the free spool is helpful in allowing me to get back to the surface without much resistance.
