                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I done some drag checking with a Penn 130 loaded with straight 200lb mono this afternoon playing around. This is 50lbs, 60lbs, 70lbs, and 80lbs on a beast of a rod. Its a 130 or unlimited sized trolling blank with a 26 tip. I wish I knew what brand the blank is because it is a good one, very comfortable, and a little faster actioned then most trolling blanks. I am hooked to my pickup in the pics. 50lbs was a cake walk, could hold that for a long, long time I am sure with line pulling off of it. I did not realize that I was leaning more and more until looking at the pics. Even 80lbs was not that bad, but I am in my yard and not on the sand, that is my disclaimer, I know somebody will say that, lol. I think I could hold 80lbs for a few minutes like that with line being pulled off, not long though, a big harness would come in handy here.
