Rob Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Sunday I found that my drag was a bit jerky when fighting Mr Spikey! Having recently cleaned the cork drag (the cork was black and I used Isopropyl alcohol so not to disolve the glue in the cork) I was suprised. Then after some quick research I found that fly reel cork drags are lubricated with grease! I thought that was worth a try and bingo - drag still works through the range and is as smooth as silk. So I did the same to my second reel all in less than 20 mins. (the reels in question are Abu 6600 Lever Drags) Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 On my TLD's they start to jerk/snatch when the drag washer gets damp. Take them apart and dry on a window sill or in the airing cupboard does the trick Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
