Sounds to me like you're missing a washer inside the reels. Or maybe there's grease or oil in places where it's not supposed to be. Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in.

Have you cleaned the reels? If you did and you add too much drag grease, they will slip
no matter how tight you make the drag. Use VERY little drag grease when
servicing your reels.
