Does a walleye reel even need a drag? They've got to be one of the worst fighting game fish per lb in North America.
Some are happy with "just fine" some aren't.

In my experience and opinion, a smooth drag is a critical component of a good walleye setup.

If you're happy with your setup, then that's really all that matters. To each their own...
