More on the internal drag. Below are pictures.
1. A pic of an internal drag
2. A pic of the parts laid out in order
3. A pic of the sheet I made to lay the parts out, with part name & number.

Dennis, any idea why they would create a double drag system? Wouldn't the single drag be sufficient? Which one would be the loosest?Trying to envision how they would work in unison and can't seem to grasp it! As Skip said, outstanding detailed pics!

Best I can tell you is the description on that 1st post I clipped from the catalog. The internal is supposed to be set according to line test and the external is to allow you to play with the fish if you so desire.
