Help Curado E

Featured Replies

So I bought a used curado e online, and when I got it I notice that the drag star on it is locked tight. You can't adjust the drag setting anymore as it won't turn. Any advise on fixing it, and will it be an easy fix.

Sounds like a Drag star nut maybe seized....

Penetrating oil? Were you aware of this when you bought it? Or surprised? At any rate Delaware Valley Tackle can surely hook you up. I strongly believe it could use a proper clean and lube/ drag upgrade... More $ I know but you will get many good years outta it this way.

If you don´t know how to fix it then have someone who knows fixing it, sent it to DVT.

Remove the handle, the dragstar will come off once the handle is removed and you should be able to see the drag nut exposed now. Apply some penetrating oil to help loosen the nut if it has rust and corrosion. Find a wrench or deep well socket and ratchet, something that will allow you to apply more leverage and carefully loosen the nut. Don't apply too much pressure as you could damage the anti reverse bearing, or other internal components, be patient and let the penetrating oil do its job.
