I fished the infamous barries today and lost about a dozen of them due to my TLD Star 15/30. I would be cranking and cranking and when i get stopped, I wind down hard to set the hook with the jig. All of the sudden the star drag would back all the way down by itself. By the time I fix my drag, my possible JP fish go bye bye.

I dont have any upgrades on my reel other than the handle. I have a good feeling the Trini handle is guilty for this. Anyway I can fix it?

Thanks.
