| What kind of line are you running and do you have backing on the reel? Very often it's not a drag problem but the line is slipping on the spool. |

Location: Pittsburgh, Pa | I know its not the line sliping because my reel is a 5600 ws wich has holes in the spool I put the line threw the holes. My freinds has the regular c 4 and he has backing on both of his and his drag has the same problem. Where do you get those smoothis washers? |

| Eggs, before you do that, take it apart, and wipe down the drag washers with a paper towel. If there's oil or grease coating the washers you can tighten it until the cows come home and it will still slip. |

| If it is new, you shouldn't have to take it apart and do anything. Take it back, it should tighten up.
later,
