SmoothDrag CarbonTex Drag Washer Kit – Part #16215 X 7
Take your heavy-duty saltwater performance to the next level with the SmoothDrag CarbonTex Drag Kit (#16215 X 7). This specialized 7-piece kit is designed specifically for high-capacity offshore reels that face the most grueling conditions on the water.
The CarbonTex material provides an unrivaled combination of durability and smoothness. By replacing your factory washers with these precision-cut carbon fiber discs, you eliminate "drag jerk" and ensure a consistent, linear pressure curve—essential when targeting pelagic species that demand every ounce of your reel's braking power.
Optimized Performance

Pro-Maintenance Recommendations
To ensure your Spheros SW performs at its peak under heavy loads, proper lubrication is critical. We recommend the following high-performance treatment for your new drag stack:
-
Drag & Gear Protection: Apply a light coat of Deuthlon Reel Grease to the CarbonTex washers. This specialized grease prevents saltwater intrusion and ensures the drag stays smooth throughout the entire fight.
-
Bearing & Shaft Care: For the spool shaft and internal bearings, use Deuthlon Reel Oil to minimize friction and protect against corrosion in harsh marine environments.
SEO Note: When upgrading your Spheros SW drag system, ensuring the metal washers are flat and free of scoring is vital. If your metal washers are damaged, consult your schematic for the appropriate replacement part numbers before installing the CarbonTex kit.
