B1 abstract an apparatus such as spring scale including graduations for percentages of line test values for a plurality fishing line tests for use with a fishing rod reel in order to set the reel drag without the need to conduct any calculations an electronically operated scale for use with a fishing rod reel that displays the line test value whenever percentages of that line test value is reached during reel drag setting thereby also avoiding the need to conduct any calculations application_number US 80267604 A description the invention will be illustrated in more detail with reference to the following examples but it should be understood that the present invention is not deemed limited thereto fig4 depicts the graduations on the present invention 20 which is a spring scale it should be understood that the present invention 20 is similar in construction to any conventional spring scale such as that shown by way of example in fig2 except that the graduations include percentages of the line test as shown in fig4 the graduations of the present invention 20 include graduations 22 in terms of pounds however in addition the present invention 20 provides the 25 and 33 drag settings for a plurality of line tests in particular the 25 drag settings 24 are provided in an inner left hand column next to the slot 28 of the indicator 30 the 33 drag settings 26 are provided in an outer second left hand column fig5 shows the conversion of each of the 25 and 33 drag settings for a variety of line tests it should be understood that the structure of the spring scale portion of the present invention 20 is similar to any conventional.
