This.

If braid is spooled without backing or not tied to a solid post coming off the spool, it will slip on the spool. Completely taking the drag out of the equation. If the problem still persists after respooling it with backing, change the drag out with some carbontex drag washers from smoooth drags. It's the first thing I do on all my new reels.
