I know what you mean.
I often wander round mates' fishing shops discretely backing off the drags...  ;)

I examined the offending reels. They all had the () washers installed right.  One reel though, the () seemed almost flat or unsprung.  That reels only 1.5 years old and never left with the drag set.  Im going to replace and get a few sets of smoothie drags too.  Its sad that all my Shimano baitcasters with so many more parts, always seem to be so much more reliable.

The Smoothies are outdated and you will be disappointed in them...
