TriStateBassin106 Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Might need some oil and grease, one of my reels had the same drag problem after a full season, I put in some shimano bantum oil and it fixed everything up nicely, also make sure you clean the reel good before applying Quote

That's a good way to have no drag. 1 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted March 31, 2021 Super User Posted March 31, 2021 Have you use braid before? What kind 4 strands PowerPro? It might be just regular noise coming out when braid crush each other while pulling out with tight drag? If you want just upload the sound here for easier diagnostic. 1 Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted March 31, 2021 Super User Posted March 31, 2021 OP, I have no idea what you're trying to communicate... oe Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 31, 2021 Super User Posted March 31, 2021 What are you/using to pull the braid off after tightening down the drag? If by bare hand it can’t more then a few pounds of drag. Tom Quote

Drags are often greased from the factory in the case of Daiwa and Shimano. Abu and other Doyo reels (Lews, Pflueger, BPS) usually come shipped dry. Greased drags have a much lower startup, smoother performance, and don't stick or skip like dry drags. A dry drag will have a marginally greater capacity at the sacrifice of smoothness. As long as a drag specific grease such as Cal's or Shimano drag grease is used, it's completely fine. 2 Quote
Super User bulldog1935 Posted March 31, 2021 Super User Posted March 31, 2021 Proper Drag grease is also how you prevent wear by carbontex washer edges on bronze main shaft/gear. also note you never need an excess of Drag grease, but a continuous thin film. 1 Quote

Not to mention grease greatly increases the life of the Carbontex. When dry those Carbontex discs will wear to a shine over time. 2 Quote

Which is a reason why when I ordered some Carbontex sheets to create drag-washers for my reels that still had oil-felt, I also ordered a tin of Cals. 2 Quote

Sounds like first time braid user to me. The sound can catch you off guard. Quote

Super User JustJames Posted March 31, 2021 Super User Posted March 31, 2021 Doesn’t matter if you grease your drag on not, drag doesn’t make sound, only jerky or smooth. This topic is about noise coming from the guy pulling line out when drag tight. BTW some drag need grease like Felt, some doesn’t require and still remain smooth, like smooth drag. Quote
