The Shimano(R) Tiagra Conventional Reel utilizes Shimano's(R) L.R.S. style drag curve. This curve allows the reel to handle extremely heavy line and the drag pressure where the angler is not as concerned about using a Warning position. By starting the curve directly from the Freespool position, the Tiagra gives anglers a wider variety of useable drag settings.
