Product Description

SMOOTH DRAG CARBON DRAG KIT (ABU BG9000 / 10000CT)

Unleash the full stopping power of your Big Game Ambassadeur with this premium Carbontex drag upgrade.

The Smooth Drag BG9000 and 10000CT Carbon Drag Kit is a specialized performance upgrade for the modern "Big Game" (BG) and "CT" (Mag/Surf) series of Abu Garcia reels. While these reels are built like tanks for surf casting and boat fishing, their stock drag washers can compress or glaze over under the extreme pressure of fighting large sharks, rays, or striped bass.

This kit replaces the standard factory washers with Carbontex, a next-generation carbon fiber material that offers unmatched consistency. Whether you are locking down the drag for a heavy cast or letting a monster run, these washers provide silky-smooth payouts without the "jerky" stick-slip common to stock fiber washers.

Product Features

• Part Type: Carbon Fiber Drag Washer Kit (Carbontex)

• Kit Contents: Complete set of friction washers (Typically 6 washers for the multi-stack system).

• Material: Premium Carbontex

• Benefits:

  • Zero Start-Up Inertia: Eliminates line-breaking spikes when a fish takes a run.

  • High Heat Tolerance: Will not melt or fade during long, high-speed battles.

  • Versatile: Can be used dry or with a light coating of drag grease.

Why Upgrade Your BG Series Reel?

The Abu Garcia BG9000 and 10000CT are designed for heavy loads. Stock washers (Part #6950/6952) are adequate but can degrade quickly in saltwater environments. Carbontex washers are impervious to moisture and salt, making them the most reliable choice for the dedicated surf caster or boat angler.

Tech Tip: This kit is designed for the BG (Big Game) and CT models which utilize a different drag stack than the vintage 1970s "Red" 9000C/10000C. Please verify your reel has the "BG" designation or black/gold cosmetics typical of this series.
