I plan on trying to keep the drag loose and using my finger, like with the CP for a drag, but I have no clue if that will prevent it from locking up. I know it has been sitting since the fall and I pulled it off the basement shelf to see if the drag was tight or set like I had it for fishing and it was locked up. Probably from the moisture in the basement. I did that since HT & company told me in the fall about the problem........ they were correct!!!

Esox v: HT ain't no snob dude. He helped me out and I'm from Joisey!!!

I try and always loosen the drags on reels when there are not going to be used in a while. They can "take a set"...
