Do you really need to know
Do you really need to know how much drag this little baitcaster can produce??? Its an old design and basically built for light tackle fishing to 8kg....mono I guess. My guess would be about 4-5kg... Get a scale out and topshot some heavy mono and lock it up and test it.

Yeah agree with above 5kg at
Yeah agree with above 5kg at the most IMO, I have an old one and starts to catch around 4kg mark and isn't smooth after that.
