Reel Issue...Help

[TylerT123]

I cleaned up my Curado 200K, now when I tighten the drag the thumbbar gets progressively harder to push as the drag gets tighter. What could be the problem?

the problem is that you took something apart and then forgot how to put it back together.

 

take it apart again putting everything on a white cloth to avoid losing parts. each piece taken off gets placed to the right of the last.

 

if that doesn't work try youtube or send it to a repair shop. 

 

be gentle with the parts and avoid stripping the screws

I had it on paper towels, I figured if I couldn’t get it back together I could use BR. The problem is this is my first time doing this and I’m 16..

Thank you but I have one more thing to try, someone helped me on here, I really appreciate your concern. The only thing is when I tighten the drag, the harder the thumbbar is to push down, what could be the problem? I can reel backwards as well...

I am 38 and took apart a baitcaster for the first time, it did not go as smooth as I hoped :). Tacklejunky81on YouTube has a great 3 part video of taking apart reels and putting them back together. It's not shimano but close enough. Work slow and be thorough. You can do it.

Give Mike a call if it doesn't work.  Good luck.
