Teton Tioga Magnum 10 Reel/ Drag Issues

[Steelhead13]

I recently got a hand me down reel, and it was the magnum 10. It looks in really good shape with the box and all. While I was playing with it, I noticed that when reeling in with the drag tight there is some resistance, almost like the drag is working both ways.

Does anyone work on these anymore. Does anyone know a fix?

I got into the drag knob and adjusted the “stripping tension” a half turn, but it didn’t do anything. I can’t easily get into the drag inside of the reel it seems.

Look up a guy named William Senecal. He fixed a tioga reel for me a few years ago.
Sorry I don't have his contact info anymore.

I think my reel had a similar issue and apparently there was a piece of fine tippet somewhere in the drag mechanism.

I’d really like to get inside of the reel and see, I might try later this evening.
