its really difficult to diagnose a problem when you cant see the reel but it sounds like Nessie is on the money here from your description of the problem. If it is a bearing problem, it is more likely the outer spool bearing, or my suspect is the pinion gear bearing. the AR bearing and main shaft bearing is still "engaged" even when the drag is turned all the way down. while the pinion gear bearing is only under load when you tighten up the drag. try flushing and cleaning the bearings as they might just be fouled up and not broken. hope this helps.
Also a longshot here, but i would also check the wormdrive. this part is exposed and gets fouled up easily. this too is not "engaged" when you back off the drag which could explain why you only feel the "tightness" when the drag is set.
