No one needs 30 pounds of drag to fight a fish . Anyone who can tie good knots def needs 30 pounds of drag to break off a snag in the rough stuff , without bending a spool shaft .
The higher ratings on the drag keep the reels from blowing up .

Agreed on the 30 pounds of drag but it sounds like this set up is for his wife, it's going on a very light rod and he wants to keep it as light as possible. I have the Quantum I mentioned above @ 7 ounces on a custom Mark Berry United Composite blank. It's also on the smaller side and not being top heavy, it gives that pole such a different feel. People pick up that pole and always comment on how light and balanced it feels.
