    Got it. Was thinking it popped straight out but you have to turn sideplate downwards.

    Not with a Curado 70 (don't own one), but have had it happen with other reels. Not sure why as it doesn't always happen. I figured it was probably my fault. Maybe hitting the drag star on my clothes without realizing it. Only happens when sitting in my brother-in-law's dinghy. Never at home where I am standing up 99% of the time.

    The nut under the drag star is what the drag star is loosening and tightening to adjust the drag. The drag star is it's wrench. Brian.

    I would be shocked if they are being discontinued, it seems like it was a pretty popular seller. Now I wouldn't be surprised if they were planning an update for it.
