I fish Zebco Cardinal reels for Salmon and Steelhead, and I purposely bought a bunch of them (C3's and C4s) because they have such great drags. I have 2 Abu Cardinal reels, but I prefer the Zebco models.
Instead of spending money on a new reel, why not take your Abu Cardinal reel to a reel repair shop, and pay a few bucks to have it cleaned and "tuned?" If you take it to a reputable shop, they can replace the drag washers, so it works fine again. Why reinvent the wheel, when you can just inflate the one you already have, properly?
