HI, I WENT TO A LOCAL TACKLE STORE AND HAD UP GRADED DRAGS PUT IN, WHEN I REC'D THE REEL BACK THE DRAG WAS ON WHEN THE STAR DRAG WAS COMPLETELY BACKED OUT, WHEN I RETURNED HE TOLD ME THEY HAD TO BE USED AND WOULD BE NORMAL AFTER A FEW FISH??  SO I CAUGHT FISH AND STILL THE DRAG IS HEAVY   CAN THIS BE FIXED BY ME??  HELP

[alantani]

you should still have a normal range.  first thought,  did an extra drag washer get left in by accident?  you got all the parts back, right?

[DRH]

YES A OT THE PARTS BUT, I DO NOT HAVE THEM NOW,  HOW MANY WASHERS DO THEY HAVE?

[alantani]

there are 4 drag washers......

[DRH]

THANKS I DO REMEMBER  THERE WAS 4 WASHERS RETURNED WHEN I PICKED UP THE REEL, WENT FISHING YESTERDAY AND CAUGHT LOTS OF FISH ON THE REEL AND THE DRAG SEEMS THE SAME?  SO I WILL RETURN THE REEL BACK ON MONDAY~!!!
