Professional Performance: Smoothdrag Carbontex Drag Kit for Abu Garcia Revo Premier & Skeet Reese
Tired of your drag "sticking" right when a trophy fish surges? The Smoothdrag Carbontex Drag Kit is the ultimate performance upgrade for the iconic first and second-generation Abu Garcia Revo Premier and Skeet Reese signature reels. Engineered to replace the factory fiber or composite washers, these premium Carbontex washers utilize a high-density, cross-weave carbon fiber to deliver unmatched smoothness and stopping power.
This kit is designed for the high-performance angler who demands zero start-up inertia—meaning your drag engages instantly and stays linear, even under the blistering heat of long, fast runs.
Key Performance Benefits
-
Eliminates "Stick-Slip": Carbontex removes the jerky, inconsistent release of line common in worn factory drags, protecting light leaders and knots.
-
Superior Thermal Stability: Carbon fiber maintains its structural integrity and friction coefficient even as heat builds during intense battles.
-
Increased Max Pressure: Experience a boost in top-end drag range while retaining fine-tuned adjustability for finesse applications.
-
Durability for Seasons: These washers are virtually wear-proof and will outlast traditional felt or matrix washers by years of heavy use.
-
Precision Cut: Laser-cut specifically for the main gear dimensions of the original Revo series for a seamless, drop-in installation.
Fitment & Compatibility
This kit is designed for the specific 2-washer gear stack found in the early high-end Revo low-profile reels.
This part fits the following Abu Garcia models:
-
Revo Premier (Gen 1): The original silver/grey frame models.
-
Revo Premier (Gen 2): Models prior to the 2010 redesign.
-
Revo Skeet Reese (SKT): The signature yellow-and-black baitcaster.
-
Revo Skeet Reese L (SKT-L): Left-hand retrieves.
-
Revo Skeet Reese Winch: Early versions sharing the 2-washer drive gear configuration.
Important Compatibility Note: This kit does not fit the 2010 Revo Premier or subsequent Gen 3/4/5 models, as those reels transitioned to a multi-washer drag stack.

Recommended Maintenance & Lubrication
For the smoothest "super-tuned" feel and long-term protection against the elements, we highly recommend the following during installation:
-
Deuthlon Reel Grease: Apply a very light, translucent coat of Deuthlon Reel Grease to both sides of the Carbontex washers. This "wet drag" setup ensures maximum saltwater resistance and an even smoother release.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: Use Deuthlon Reel Oil on your spool bearings and the main shaft to minimize rotational friction and increase casting distance.
