Abu Garcia 20960 Drag Plate
Restore the smooth, consistent, and powerful drag performance of your cherished Abu Garcia reel with the genuine Abu Garcia 20960 Drag Plate. This critical component is an integral part of your reel's drag system, working in conjunction with drag washers to create the necessary friction and heat dissipation that allows you to control a fighting fish without breaking your line or damaging your reel.
Over time, constant pressure, heat, and exposure to the elements can cause drag plates to wear, warp, or corrode. A compromised drag plate can lead to jerky drag, inconsistent pressure, or a complete loss of drag capability, jeopardizing your ability to land fish. Replacing it with an authentic Abu Garcia 20960 Drag Plate ensures a precise fit and optimal functionality, bringing your reel's drag system back to factory specifications.
Manufactured to Abu Garcia's exacting standards, this drag plate is designed for durability and performance in demanding fishing conditions. Whether you're a seasoned angler performing routine maintenance, repairing a reel after a tough battle, or undertaking a full restoration, this OEM part is essential for maintaining the legendary reliability and performance that Abu Garcia reels are known for.
