Title: Flueger Criteron Loss of Drag
Post by: vudo on February 13, 2012, 01:47:01 AM
Took the reel apart, gave it a good cleaning and greased the drags washers and oiled all bearings.  The main drag was dried, but the one below the main gear was greased.  Now I have about 1 lb of drag at max setting.  Any suggestions?

I think I'll have to go that route.  Didn't see it on smooth website so I'll have to give Dawn a call on Mon.
