Exactly. By engaging the drag at full, it closes the gap between the drag and drag washer thus eliminating any water, salt, debris, etc. from getting between the two. Light mist of fresh water followed by a spray of 100% silicon or WD40 once dry and you're good to go. When I service my reels come winter, they look good as new inside.
