One Revolution Drag Knob
Numbered settings, detents, and audible clicks help take the guesswork out of setting your preferred control level. Our SCS Drag is hand-calibrated for precision and consistency, allowing for repeatable settings and confidence in your adjustments. The easy switch between decreased tension for stripping and increased pressure for fighting fish makes for more time fishing and less time setting drag.
-
Sealed Carbon System Drag
With its smooth engagement and consistent, dependable, and repeatable pressure, SCS Drag allows you to fish with confidence knowing your tippet is protected. Proprietary high-grade US made carbon easily, repeatedly handles high pressure and quickly dissipates the kinetic energy of that running fish into thermal energy. Tailored configurations create specific drag systems for each model, size, and fishing application, and the entire system is sealed to keep out water, sand, grit, and salt.
-
Exclusive USA Carbon
Our drag discs are made with proprietary US-made carbon of the highest grade, the same material used in the brakes of jets and F1 race cars. Unlike alternative drag components such as cork or plastic, or even polymers like Delrin® and Rulon®, carbon does not compress, deteriorate, melt, or burn. It dissipates extreme heat without wear and allows us to create compact drag systems that are high performance, stable, durable, and repeatable.
