Abstract

Two arms are hinged together at one end. Each arm contains a plurality of longitudinally spaced and generally aligned passages. The spacing of the passages is such that a fishline can be threaded through selected passages so as to enable the fisherman to set the drag mechanism associated with his fishing reel for a desired percentage of the test or breaking strength of the fishline.
