I’ve long been a proponent of loosening drag after every trip. Gave my SIL and daughter a combo a while back and explained this to them both. Fished with the SIL today and found both of the rods he brought down tight and the combo I gave them now has a jerky drag that needs the washers replaced. Not to beat on him but the point is that even an inexpensive drag will work a long time if treated properly.
I have a couple of sets of washers waiting to go in a couple of my Presidents so I’ll have to be quiet, no first hand experience yet.
