My new Accurate 665 two-speed mysteriously increases its drag after I catch a few tuna with it.  |

I have the same problem with my 665 and my 870n, thats why i check
my drag by pulling it every few minutes when im jigging.
I think i like star drag better for jigging, my star drag reels dont have this
problem.
