I caught a 50lbs YFT on a slightly upgraded Okuma Salina 80 and I only used a third of the drag, the reel performed flawlessly. Sorry for the O/T.

I would imagine that the drag may have been assembled incorrectly if it had been stripped for servicing.
Also would check to see if the line roller was turning freely. I have heard that the Cabo does need a regular dose of grease on this item.
To be honest the only reels I have had a sticky drag on are the baitrunners but once the standard felt drags are upgraded to carbontex or smoothies this is not an issue.
