  • DRAG TROUBLE

    I am now having trouble with my drag on me real.

    after i washed it, i loosened the drag right off then tightened back up again.

    NOW, when the drag is as tight as can be i can still ull some line off quite easy.

    did you use soapy water?? there\'s probably some residue of detergent on the washers,

    case of whip em out, clean em with lighter fluid/meths stick em back in

                      jonny id recommend leaving it alone ,take it to billys or temples or even ID and ask them to service it and set up the brakes and drag
