Question about mako speargun reel

Got the 50m mako reel when it was on sale for black friday. Have one question about it, when the drag is applied, you only feel the drag every half of a spin and the other half of the spin almost spins freely. Its not a smooth drag as my mares reel and i think it will be very jerky in use. I was wondering if they are all like that or i got a bad one?

Check the nylon bushings on the drag. Maybe they aren’t perfectly flat. I would take it apart and inspect it.

Re: Question about mako speargun reel

I've done business with Dano at Mako for years now...square folks who'll treat you right if'n something's not right. I ordered board shorts, hat and rash guard. Never came, never came and I contacted them. Within two days new batch came. Tweo weeks later original order came in. Called to pay for the replacements and they said NOT! Keep it gratis! Cool dudes.
