To be honest I rarely look at the drags on my 6500 & 5500SS's. To be honest, I don't think stripers and blues put too much stress on those reels. The lighter tackle is a different story...
Im not sure about tuna...I landed two last year on the 6500SS and Im still debating whether its a mistake not to replace the washers before my Cape trip in August where hopefully we will tussle again.
