Not possible on a star drag reel since the drag is either fully engaged or you are in free spool. Most star drag reels do have a line tension adjustment but when you are pulling heavy stuff or lures that pull hard its never enough tension to keep line from coming off the reel....

Have to agree Jerry after using both. My "go to" are the Avets for this and they have yet to fail. Also have both set ups with wire and braid with mono top shot for troll.
