Drag System

A drag system is a mechanism typically used to control the resistance or braking force on a device such as a fishing reel or a bicycle wheel. It works by applying adjustable pressure to prevent the moving parts from turning too quickly or with too much force, helping to manage speed and prevent damage. For example, in fishing, the drag system allows a fish to pull on the line while maintaining steady tension, reducing the risk of the line breaking. It balances control and smooth operation, ensuring safety and efficiency during use.
