704 drag question
I have an old 704 greenie that I use almost exclusivly for pluging.... today I got fed up with the old drag washers and just replaced them with new ones.

Heres the problem, as I test the drag out, on a loose drag, as I pull line out with my hand, the spool will turn (which is normal) but the problem is that the knob is turning too so as the knob turns the drag is being tightned

what did I do wrong?

Nevermind.....
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

You know.. I felt the presence of a long haired yale graduate floating above me while I flipped those washers...

Tell me, what is the meaning of life?
