With 30 pounds of drag available via the Dura Drag system, it has plenty of stopping power, too. With 30 pounds of drag available via the Dura Drag system, the Slammer IV has more than enough stopping power for most classes of fish you're likely to target on spinning gear.

Slammer III comes in sizes 3500, 4500, 5500, 6500, 7500, 8500, 9500 & 10500. Drag ranges of thirty (30) pounds 3500 size reel and Sixty (60) pounds 10500 size reel (Max drag)

For best results, the drag setting should be able at the point where the line holds a third to half of its weight before moving (e.g., a 20-pound line should not move until the hook holds seven to ten pounds).

Specifically, the drag setting is dependent on the size of your line and the species targeted. “One-quarter or one-third of the line's breaking strength should be your drag setting at strike,” says Ben Secrest, of Accurate Reels. “If you are fishing 200-pound braid, that equates to 50 to 65 pounds of drag.

max drag is the maximum force that a reel is designed to safely operate at. Line weight is a recomended range to safely use on a rod. The only one of these that is a set breaking point is the line so if reel is chosen with a maximum drag below this figure the line will not break even at max drag.

CNC Gear Technology This is a process where computers determine exactly how deep the teeth are cut within the main gear of the reel. This is the epitome of precision. The gears are fully designed using CNC Gear Technology.

Once the baseline is set, Smith suggests setting the drag at 20 percent of the breaking strength of the line. For example, with 20-pound-test, it should take 4 pounds of pressure to pull the line off the reel. Other experts suggest drag of up to 33 percent of the line strength.
