Breathe new life into your trusted Penn reel with the genuine Penn 1180918 (also known as 6-320) Drag Washer. This essential component is the heart of your reel's drag system, providing the smooth, reliable, and powerful performance that is synonymous with the Penn name. Whether you are battling hard-charging gamefish or need to apply subtle, consistent pressure, this original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part will ensure your reel is up to the task.

The Unmistakable Advantage of Penn's HT-100 Drag Material

This drag washer is crafted from Penn's legendary HT-100 (High-Tech 100) carbon fiber material, a significant upgrade from older felt or asbestos washers. The HT-100 system is engineered for longevity and consistent performance under the most demanding conditions. Here's what sets it apart:

• Exceptional Smoothness: The HT-100 material provides a silky-smooth drag, even at high settings. This eliminates the "jerky" or "grabbing" sensation often associated with worn or inferior drag systems, which can lead to snapped lines and lost fish.
• Unwavering Durability: Carbon fiber is incredibly resilient and resistant to compression set. Unlike felt washers that can become compacted and lose their effectiveness over time, the HT-100 washer maintains its shape and performance trip after trip.
• Superior Heat Dissipation: During a long fight with a powerful fish, your drag system generates significant heat. The HT-100 material is designed to dissipate this heat effectively, preventing drag fade and ensuring consistent pressure from the beginning to the end of the battle.
• Impervious to the Elements: The HT-100 washers are unaffected by water, salt, and most chemicals, ensuring reliable performance in both freshwater and harsh saltwater environments.

Is It Time for a Drag System Overhaul?

A smooth and reliable drag is critical for a successful fishing experience. If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms with your reel, it's likely time to replace your drag washers:

• Inconsistent Drag Pressure: The drag seems to slip or tighten unpredictably during a fight.
• Jerky or Stuttering Drag: The line does not pull out smoothly when a fish runs, leading to potential line breakage.
• Reduced Maximum Drag: You can no longer tighten the drag to the level you once could.
• "Sticky" Drag: The drag is difficult to engage or disengage smoothly.
• Visible Wear and Tear: Upon inspection, your old drag washers appear compressed, glazed, or frayed.

Replacing your old, worn-out drag washers with a fresh set of Penn 1180918 washers will restore your reel's performance to factory-new condition, giving you the confidence to tackle any fish that comes your way.
