You people are legends! I was just about to go fishing and I found out my drag is silent so I spent a few mintues watching your video and wallaah! My drag is screaming again 😍 Thanks man 🎉
this was very helpful, my reel wasnt clicking when the line was dragged turned out i just need to poke the mechanism with a pair of sissors lol Clicked back info place and now makes the clicking noise again, thought i broke something but i didnt thanks for the video 👍
Does removing washers make the sound dissapear? Do i have to adjust that metal thing on the spring somehow. I removed 3 washers to adjust the line gathering on the spool. I mean can the removing of the washers make the "claw" miss the "teeth" that make the sound? Got brand new reel and the sound dissapeared : /
Try flipping the gear the clicker/pawl hits upside down. This has worked for me in the past. You'll notice the standard ones are angled and can wear down.
What about when you are able to pull line easily with the drag tightened all the way? I bout a reel in November 2022, fished it 4 times in 2023 then all of a sudden, the drag stopped clicking/holding and I was able to easily pull line when tightened all the way. I then unscrewed the top and removed the lock and washers placing them back in order. When tightened appropriately I was able to hear clicking with the drag holding. Then all of a sudden, the reel went silent and I was able to easily pull line. Tightened all the way and no improvement. Any expert advice would be greatly appreciated.
