I try to change out the drags on the reels I use alot EVERY SEASON, depending on the wear and tear they have been subject to.

Replace the stock Dratantium drag washers with smooth drag carbontex washers.Bring your reel into me at Pacific edge tackle and I will show you how to change your drags and maintain them.Very easy thing to do.

Eric, bring your reel by and I'll have a look. I'll take you to Pacific Edge for the parts you need.
I met Jack and Mark the last time I was there...great guys. Quote: |

Here's the baggy... how soon will it be ready?
Seriously, the dratanium washers are notoriously fragile. Very easy to break on assembly/disassembly.
