Great article, LOL. Includes using an awful substance to lubricate the reel, and incorrect installation of drag washers.
Just because it looks good on the internet, doesn't make it gospel.
I'm sorry if you dont like that site but my post was directed to the OP. Every site has BS but there is some useful info on there with some helpful members. I was not dis-crediting Bass Resource or it members; this site is great. I was only offering a fellow member other options to help with current/future issues.
