Well,that's it,then. The line is too heavy for the current condition of the drag. If it worked previously, then you just need new drag washers and/or get the oil off. Consider a flurocarbon line for a little stretch on the hook set. i have been waiting for you to say something about floro this whole time, yeah i plan on letting Late4Lake go through the reels for me, just have to find some exta cash, I want upgraded bearings too

I normally set the drag about 50% of line test,for 50-80lbs test you need a better reel and I can't think of bass reel can handle that much .I just change my drag washers and bring the max drag to 14lbs test ,it's should be enough to handle King fish

go with carbontex drag from smoooth drags. It will make your drag stronger and smoother and you'll say goodbye to a studdering drag. +1 This is one of the best improvement you can make for very little money. +2

that reel has solid drag already. Sounds like they may be improperly lubed.

Easy to do light cleaning yourself. Rotate the side cover and gently pop the spool out. Clean the spool shaft and bearings with a reel specific oil and a Q Tip. Re oil with 1 small drop of oil on each bearing. Close it back up. Clean the level wind in place with a Q Tip and oil. That's it. I prefer to clean my own reels. If you let someone other than Shimano clean it,they will get oil on your drag. Lol.
