Having problems with the rear drag.
When ya tighten it up it goes hardly tight then makes a click and it’s like it goes back to the start with almost no tension. It’s a new thing. Ever since I got it the rear drag adjustment was always quite tight to get it to reasonable tension, unsure if it’s related.
I got it new about a year ago. I’m guessing the small discs that came with the reel are for the rear drag? Is that the problem something to do with that ?

Small discs?   if they are plastic and about 12mm in dia  they might be shims  that fit under the spool  to allow fine tuning of the line lay on the spool . Some makers include a couple with the reel .
 Sounds like a stripped thread , how hard did you wring that knob trying to get decent drag ?Smile
I wish I was young again .... Id be heaps smarter than this time

Yea that’s what they will be. Ah normally reasonably hard to tighten it but i just noticed it like i don’t know exactly when it happened. I took the side cover off had a nosey but didn’t wanna go n e further.
I was always thinking it was quite hard to turn it’s the second 14000 iv had in the last few years, daughter chucked the first one off a wharf, and that one was hard to turn aswell
Thanks
