Title: Shimano 4000GT Moocher Plus

My old mooching reel won't allow the drag to back off at times, which is how I either pull line for a cast or release for downrigger drop. Anybody out there have a suggestion?
It just continues to spin without backing off?
Thanks, Ron

probably all stuck together.  pull the drag washers out and measure them, then match them ip with something on this list http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=21.0 or check with smoothdrag.com
