TWINDRAG SYSTEM

Traditional fishing reel design applies the drag pressure to only one side of the spool resulting in uneven pressureplaced on reel components and excessive heat buildup.The TwinDrag system applies equal pressure to bothsides of the spool which distributes the drag friction overthe surface of two drag plates instead of one. Thats 50%of the total drag pressure on each side, resulting in asmoother drag with less heat build-up and a balanced loadon reel bearings and spool. TwinDrag reels also haveextremely accurate drag settings with very little fluctuation.In fact, ATD reels will fluctuate less than 1-pound in totaldrag when line is drawn at any speed. For example: whenthe drag is set to 20 pounds on a ATD reel, drag pressurewill only vary between 19.5 and 20.5 pounds on an ATD reel, drag pressure will only vary between 19.5 and 20.5 pounds or less!

DRAG VARIANCE

Thanks to the Platinum Twin Drags exclusive Twin Drag technology, the drag tension you set will vary no more than two poundswhen line is pulled off the reel at any speed! Unfortunately, there is another factor which causes drag variance that needs to beaccounted for. This factor is based on how full the reel is with line. When the spool is filled, the line is being pulled off a high point onthe spool. As the amount of line on the spool reduces, the line is pulled from a lower area on the spool. There is less leverage usedwhen the line is pulled at a lower level, which means the line needs more force to move the spool against the drag. The drag settinghas not been decreased, but the line will encounter increased tension. Account for the drag pressure to approximately double when25% of the line has been removed from a full spool.
