Title: Stripped threads on drag knob, no problem

Just make a new one ;D

The drag knob stripped out on my okuma Coronado 40, but instead of buying a new one, I just machined a replacement for the nut on the inside. A little 6061 aluminum, and a little time on the lathe and mill resulted in this. Fit perfect, and works just as well.

Nothing wrong with that, bet this one holds up longer.
