Got a single action reel the other day on a trade. Noticed that there
seems to be more resistance on the drag reeling line in then reeling
the other direction or the stripping direction. Is this something that
evens out or is that normal? can I adjust the pointer? I know silly
ridiculous questions but this one is unused and rock solid frame and
wobble wise ....have only used disc drags and they are not necessary
where I fish...wanted to make sure it was adjusted properly before I
cast my fly directly into a tree 10 yards away....
thanks

It sounds like the drag might be reversed. Is the drag adjustable?

It would help if you mention the mfg/model of the reel...

Shakespeare 1094...
do I need to remove the triangle pin or just adjust it. I use a left
hand retrieve and it is probably set for a right hand...
thanks for the replies.

That's a current reel - the only single action fly reel Shakespeare sells.
The "drag" is a simple on-off affair, no adjustment needed ;-) but their web
site claims it is reversible.

I haven't found anything that tells *how* to do it. If all else fails, contact
Shakespeare "800-347-3759 and ask for the Service Center. Operating hours are
8 to 4:45 East Coast time. Or write to Shakespeare Service Center, 3801
Westmore Drive, Columbia, SC 29223 or email "
