Curado 70 drag sliping?

Post by antoniolopez944 » Sun Oct 22, 2017 11:44 am

I recently purchased a curado 70 and its been great. Recently, I took the reel apart for maintenance. Ever since I took it apart and put it back together the reels drag starts slipping/squeaking after a few casts. When I get home I usually take it apart and there is water on the drag washer. After dapping the water away the drag works fine. I want to the the issue was the key drag washer was placed on the wrong side (looks like positioning doesn't matter but I could be wrong) and my reel started working better. The drag wouldn't slip as much unless I locked down the drag. After I took my reel apart the first time i added a thin layer of reel butter to the drag if that makes a difference.
thanks for the help guys

The key washer has a bevel to it, so it has to be installed correctly. The pressure washers need to be like this () otherwise you will not make enough drag pressure.
