What's going on with it? I've had some success disassembling for a good cleaning followed by a good oiling. I had one I thought was shot, it ended up,working fine after

I think there's a metal disc kind of like a domed washer. I've heard of people having the issue you describe. When I cleaned mine up the drag was really tight and inconsistent. I think it's a pretty fixable issue. Maybe try and find a YouTube video, they're pretty common reels so you may have some luck
