No, that's why God gave us reels with more than 5 pounds of drag pressure. This point can be argued all day long but I wont do it.

huh what have I been missing for the past 20 years with my 5 lbs of drag (3lbs for a scorpion) or less flipping. :roll: 24lbs is sick, but ya dont need it to get bass out of heavy cover. ;) Maybe once you start having to drag BIG bass out of heavy cover you will get it.
