the drag progression from free to strike to full is simply a function of the shape of the cam.  if the drag washer is really stick, it might seem like it's jumpy.  do a full service on it first (if you haven't already) and then let's see where you are.

i played with the bellevilles  after a full service seems to have been the fix  it has 5 bellevilles  is the right  i put them back to stock configuration. the drag  now  has a nice progression from just above bait all the way up to full
