Re: Baitcaster “Sticky” Drag
Hi - I just serviced three Quantum Accurist AC500PT baitcasters today. All were pre-owned. Not sure if they are similar to your reels. I did find that the backside of the main gear (made of brass) on two of the reels had minor corrosion where one of the drag washers makes contact. It was enough to catch a fingernail. I cleaned this up with alcohol and a brass brush. I also cleaned the drag washers and their contact surfaces throughly. All drag components received a light coat of Cals Drag Grease. The drag is much smoother now on all three reels. I hope this helps. Adam
