In one aspect, there is provided a process for manufacturing a drag for receiving falling molten glass drops, in which without narrowing the option for drag material, any occurrence of air retention can be favorably prevented and a drag excelling in durability can be obtained. The process comprises the film forming step of forming a coating layer on a base material and the surface roughening step of roughening the surface of the coating layer. Preferably, the coating layer contains at least one element selected from among chromium, aluminum and titanium.
