Yeah, it sounds like it may be time to clean your reel or replace the drag washers. According to Daiwa, max drag should be 17.6 lbs.

Also, are you putting a bend in the rod or pulling straight from the reel when you're taking a drag reading? 12 lbs straight from the reel is probably the same as about 15 lbs with rod pressure. You might be just right for the kayak.
