So, one of my guy's is telling me the drag is backing off when reeling in a halibut (drag lever doesn't move) have to keep readjusting the drag...any thoughts?
don't know how that could happen. gotta get a scale and start pulling to see. :-\
Did someone open it up before this started?
yes...me, but have rebuilt 100's
The only thing I can think of is one or all of the bellville washers fell off when installing the spool, they are a PIA. But I can not see why this would do it.

bob, i don't think it's the reel, and i don't think that it's something that you've done. once you get the reel in hand, i think that you will find that there is either something else going on or that there is no problem at all. :-\
I agree Alan.
