Title: Abu Garcia® SILVER MAX Series
Post by: Panchito on July 11, 2010, 03:47:10 PM
Hi Alan,

I have an issue with my son's Abu Garcia® SILVER MAX Series, whenever i try to lock down the drag, it still gives line when i am trying to pull it out.
Let say about 4lbs of weight and it will give line, is this normal or there is something wrong with the drag washers

Thanks!

Possibly you are missing a washer or two in the stack so you are bottoming out.
