I have a 200,251, and a 400. These are great reels, but you would be smart to learn how to service these reels your self.
The drags, although smooth can get very sticky if they get wet or to dry.
Part of the drag assembly is a thick/soft cloth like material drag washer. This is what makes these drags so smooth, and so damn sticky when damp or to dry. You need to take this washer out and dry it out under a lamp, then you need to gently massage into the washer, shimano star drag grease. Do not try to use a sustitute for this process, and dont use to much of this grease. Then reassemble, and you should be fine.
You will also need to periodically take the two bearings out of reel and douse with lighter fluid and spin bearings until all residual oil is removed, then add one drop of shimano bearing oil and spin until it is dispersed through bearing. Dont do this to the roller anti reverse bearing, this requires a grease instead of oil, and is quite fragile.
Learning to do this myself has saved me a lot of money over the last three years.
hope this helps.
