Are Accurate TwinDrag™ reel more complicated to operate?
Not at all. You use a simple preset lever to accurately set the drag-pressure range on any Platinum TwinDrag reel model, and then use the drag lever itself to apply that pressure, as with any lever-drag reel. The preset lever uses a graduated, “letter” scale as a reference guide when setting the drag, and also has a lock to prevent accidental slippage of the setting. Selected settings are maintained to plus-or-minus one pound accuracy. In place of a preset lever, the new series of Boss TwinDrag Light-Line reels have a preset knob to set drag-pressure range; as with the Platinum TwinDrag series, after you adjust the preset knob, you then simply apply tension to the reel spool through the drag lever.
