Unleash Peak Performance: Smooth Drag Carbontex Drag Washer Kit for Abu Garcia Reels (3902 & 3903)
Elevate your Abu Garcia reel to the next level with the Smooth Drag Carbontex® Carbon Fiber Drag Washer Kit. Engineered for the serious angler, this premium upgrade replaces your stock drag washers with high-performance carbon fiber components, delivering unparalleled stopping power, smoothness, and reliability when you need it most.
Whether you're battling powerful inshore species or finessing a trophy fish, the Carbontex® system ensures a smooth, consistent drag without the hesitation or jerkiness common in factory-installed felt or canvas washers. The proprietary Carbontex® material provides a wider and more linear drag range, giving you precise control from lockdown to light settings.
This kit is a direct replacement for Abu Garcia Part Numbers 3902 and 3903, offering a significant upgrade in durability and performance under the most demanding conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Smoothness: Eliminates the "jerky" start-up inertia of traditional drag systems. Enjoy a silky-smooth drag payout that protects light lines and prevents lost fish from sudden surges.
-
Increased Max Drag Pressure: Substantially increases the maximum drag capacity of your reel. Apply more pressure to turn big fish and pull them from heavy cover with confidence. The difference in performance is often a 20-30% or greater increase in measurable drag pressure.
-
Exceptional Heat Resistance: Carbontex® washers dissipate heat more effectively than stock washers, preventing drag fade during long, blistering runs from powerful fish like tuna, kingfish, or large salmon.
-
Unmatched Durability: Unlike felt washers that can compress, fray, or degrade when exposed to moisture, Carbontex® is a robust material that maintains its performance characteristics for the life of your reel. It is impervious to water, salt, and oils.
-
Versatile Performance: The Carbontex® system performs flawlessly whether you use it dry or with a very light coating of Cal's Universal Reel & Drag Grease for the ultimate in smooth, calibrated performance.

Smooth drag
Bought this kit for my vintage ABU Ambassadeur 6000. Works well, much smoother drag than before.
