take it to a reel repair shop and have the drag rebuilt.

Diddo, buy a shimano, if you want "no drag" problems. seems that everytime i go out fishin and come back and rinse my poles with freash water, my drag doesnt work. not only that, but the guide doesnt move when i pull the drag out. to fix the problem, i have had to take the reel completely apart/clean/grease and reassemble. Pain in the ass when you find out it dont work when you are on the boat anticipating hooking into fish, only to borrow your buddies reel.

Sorry can't let everyone get away with this...

Buy a Penn and forget about your drag problems.
