Derek Pescio Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 My brand new Calcutta 201b is having drag issues. I have tightened my star drag completely down and it's still slipping, and I'm using a full spool of 20 pound fluorocarbon line. If you know how to fix this please comment! Thanks! Quote
jbw252 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 "Brand new" reels shouldn't have problems, but they can. If you can, take the reel back to where you bought it & have it checked. If you are unfamiliar with reel repairs, DON'T try to fix things you don't know about. PM Mike from DVT (a great forum sponsor here). Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 How easily is the drag slipping? 1 Quote
