My reasoning is that the appropriate drag setting at the initial hookup when the fish is a fair distance from the landing point, and potentially near structure, is not necessarily the best drag setting when the fish is close to the boat or shore

That is why its so important to use the correct hook size, tend to your line, and handle your catch with care (wet your hands, minimize time out of the water, etc)

The bass fishing research out there says that the predominate color bass respond to is red, and that they cant see color

I seem to recall that David Fritts also thought this way and had Lews offer his signature reels with a conventional anti-reverse, but I don't think many were sold
