No matter how tight I make the star the drag still slips with ease. I am sure it is something easy but don't know my way around these reels.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

What I would do is make sure the reel has two wavy washers. Just below the drag handle.

Is it spooled with braid and no backing Good question because if you have braid on it with no backing, it will slip.

Nice coverup. Yep. A lot of “I”’s and “my”’s in that original post, too many to be for a buddy. Hahaha. Duh.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Is it spooled with braid and no backing +1 seems odd that a brand new reel would have drag issues out of the box

Send it to Arkansas. They know how to deal with DRAG issues.
