    are you sure there is not a large black button across the back of the reel? All the pictures I find of the 165 have a thumb release on the back

It should have the thumb bar to use for casting!

You either are missing something (thumb bar or a push button like on abu baitcasters) or you've got a deformed reel, chances of this though are about 0% its not the star drag you need to relase, check your reel again.
