Quick drag reels

Quick drag

— any clutch is a brake of a special design, the task of which is to loosen the spool (to drop the fishing line) when the load approaches a critical value. And such a brake is called “fast” if it is enough to turn it a short distance, about ½ turn, to tighten it (for comparison: the “slow” clutch is completely tightened by turning approximately 3 turns).

Fast drags appeared in carp fishing, and it is in it that they continue to be most widely used. Many experienced fishermen prefer a fast drag to a bait runner, but for beginners, such equipment may be less convenient and easier to learn than the same bait runner.
