SmoothDrag MAX Carbon Fiber Drag Kit
Upgrade your fishing reel’s stopping power with the SmoothDrag MAX Carbon Fiber Drag Kit. Engineered for anglers who demand a silky-smooth release and maximum heat dissipation, this kit replaces your factory felt or inferior composite washers with high-performance, aerospace-grade carbon fiber.
Whether you are battling a surging bass or a hard-running saltwater species, the SmoothDrag MAX kit eliminates "stiction"—that initial jerkiness when a fish takes line—ensuring a consistent pressure throughout the entire drag range.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Heat Resistance: Carbon fiber maintains its integrity under high-speed runs, preventing drag fade.
-
Precision Performance: Provides a much wider "sweet spot" for fine-tuning your drag settings.
-
Dry or Greased: Can be run dry for maximum friction or lightly greased for ultimate smoothness.
-
Durability: Outlasts factory washers and resists compression over time.
Compatibility List
This kit is precision-cut to fit a wide variety of modern low-profile baitcasting reels. To verify your specific internal components, you can view detailed PDF schematics at www.reelschematic.com.

Maintenance Recommendations
To ensure the longest lifespan and peak performance of your new drag system, proper lubrication is essential. We highly recommend using Deuthlon Reel Grease on the drag washers to provide a waterproof barrier and ultra-smooth startup. For the surrounding bearings and spool shaft, Deuthlon Reel Oil provides the low-viscosity protection needed for effortless casting.
Pro Tip: When installing, ensure all old debris and factory grease are thoroughly cleaned from the main gear before seating your new SmoothDrag MAX washers.
