Checking your reel's drag
« on: February 07, 2007, 09:15:01 PM »
Hi All,

The best way of detecting a sticky drag is to put the reel on a rod, thread the line through the guides and have a friend pull off line while walking briskly away. Hold the rod at about 45 degrees. If the rod tip “nods” up and down as the line is pulled off against the drag, you’ve got a problem. See “Tips” in the Discussion Forum for further information.

Have fun,

Capt. Ed

Then we would look at the drag washer Capt. Ed?
I seen the picture on the front page.  Is this the only thing that would cause drag trouble?
