I know its been here for a few years, but This post was very helpful as i have a very juddery drag on an xt 10000 ra, i cleaned and sorted the main drag, but the jerking is actually coming from the bait-runner part of the drag system, does anyone know how you get to it, it doesn't seem to fall out of the back like the main system so i assume you have to open the reel body up and pull the shaft? has anyone done this, and is it hard, i prefer to fix things myself and have been dismantling and servicing reels for many years but never done one of these.
Thanks for any help
