Conventional Reels Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

This is what I have learned from a problem I had with one of my reels.

The knob is just for spool play.

I couldn't ever get my reel to reel up a 2oz weight and took the reel apart and had learned that the drags were smashes and burned. Took the drags out and sanded them and let them sit for a bit. Put them back in and the reel works like a champ.

That's just what happened to me, worth a try.

I only want to do one thing in life. Whatever I want at that moment.
