Silky Smooth Precision: Smoothdrag Carbontex Drag Kit (B36-0204) for Daiwa Spinning Reels
Don't let a "stuttering" drag be the reason the big one got away. The Smoothdrag Carbontex Drag Kit (Part #B36-0204) is the ultimate performance upgrade for a wide range of legendary Daiwa spinning reels. This kit replaces the original factory felt or teflon washers with premium, high-density, cross-weave carbon fiber.
Whether you are finesse fishing for picky trout or battling hard-charging inshore species, Carbontex provides a level of consistency and "zero start-up inertia" that factory parts simply can't match. It’s the single most effective way to "super-tune" your Daiwa workhorse for modern braided lines and high-stakes angling.
Why Upgrade Your Daiwa to Carbontex?
-
Eliminate "Stick-Slip": Carbontex removes that jerky, uneven line release when a fish first bolts, protecting your knots and light leaders.
-
Superior Heat Management: Unlike felt, which can glaze over or "cook" during long runs, carbon fiber maintains its friction coefficient regardless of the temperature.
-
Increased Stopping Power: Experience a smoother, higher top-end drag range while retaining granular control at lower settings.
-
Unmatched Longevity: These washers are virtually wear-proof and do not compress or rot over time, making them the last drag kit your reel will likely ever need.

Professional Installation & Lubrication
For the most consistent "buttery" feel and maximum protection against the elements, we strongly recommend a "wet" drag setup during installation:
-
Deuthlon Reel Grease: Apply an ultra-thin, translucent coating to each side of the Carbontex washers. This specialized PTFE-based grease prevents "chatter" and creates a waterproof barrier that is vital for preventing corrosion on your metal drive washers.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: While the spool is off, apply a single drop of Deuthlon Reel Oil to the main shaft and the line roller assembly. Its ultra-low friction formula is essential for maintaining effortless rotation and maximizing your casting distance.
