Hi Larry:
I am sure you have heard people say that you should lossen up your reels' drag after every fishing trip. What do you think?

Hi B,
Leaving a drag cranked down super tight over time will cause the discs to compress a bit. This can result in a drag that is less smooth and with less maximum pressure than it had to begin with.
best,
