TWINDRAG SYSTEM
Traditional fishing reel design applies the drag pressure to only one side of the spool  resulting in uneven pressureplaced on reel components and excessive heat buildup.The TwinDrag™ system applies equal pressure to bothsides of the spool which distributes the drag friction over the surface of two drag plates instead of one. That’s 50% of the total drag pressure on each side, resulting in a smoother drag with less heat build-up and a balanced load on reel bearings and spool. TwinDrag™ reels also have extremely accurate drag settings with very little fluctuation. In fact, ATD reels will fluctuate less than 1-pound in total drag when line is drawn at any speed. For example: when the drag is set to 20 pounds on a ATD reel, drag pressure will only vary between 19.5 and 20.5 pounds on an ATD reel, drag pressure will only vary between 19.5 and 20.5 pounds or less!
DRAG VARIANCE
Thanks to the Platinum Twin Drags exclusive Twin Drag technology, the drag tension you set will vary no more than two pounds when line is pulled off the reel at any speed! Unfortunately, there is another factor which causes drag variance that needs to be accounted for. This factor is based on how full the reel is with line. When the spool is filled, the line is being pulled off a high point onthe spool. As the amount of line on the spool reduces, the line is pulled from a lower area on the spool. There is less leverage used when the line is pulled at a lower level, which means the line needs more force to move the spool against the drag. The drag setting has not been decreased, but the line will encounter increased tension. Account for the drag pressure to approximately double when 25% of the line has been removed from a full spool.
