SmoothDrag CarbonTex Drag Washer Kit – Set #6000/8000
Upgrade your reel’s stopping power with the SmoothDrag CarbonTex Drag Kit (Set #6000/8000). Engineered for anglers who demand a silky-smooth startup and relentless heat dissipation, these premium carbon fiber washers are the gold standard for high-performance drag systems.
Unlike traditional felt or low-grade factory washers, CarbonTex provides a consistent, stutter-free drag across the entire pressure range. Whether you are battling hard-charging saltwater species or heavy freshwater bruisers, this kit ensures your drag remains reliable under extreme friction.
Key Features
-
Superior Smoothness: Eliminates "jerkiness" or "stick-slip" at the start of a run.
-
High Heat Tolerance: Maintains integrity during long, high-speed runs that would glaze standard washers.
-
Precision Cut: Designed for a perfect drop-in fit for specific Shimano and medium-to-large frame spinning reels.
-
Durability: Significantly outlasts stock drag components, resisting compression and wear.

Maintenance & Installation Tips
For maximum performance and longevity, these washers can be run dry or lightly greased. We highly recommend using high-performance lubricants to protect your internals and ensure the smoothest operation possible:
-
Lubrication Recommendation: Apply a thin coat of Deuthlon Reel Grease to the washers for a moisture-resistant barrier and ultra-smooth engagement.
-
Internal Protection: Use Deuthlon Reel Oil on the spool bearings and drive shaft to complement your upgraded drag system.
Note: Always clean the metal drag plates (pressure washers) with a degreaser before installing your new CarbonTex kit to remove old residue and debris.
