SHIMANO Moocher (older style) DRAG KIT

Product Description

Upgrade Your Classic Shimano Moocher with a Smooth Drag Kit

Breathe new life into your trusted older model Shimano Moocher reel with a high-performance smooth drag kit. This essential upgrade replaces the original factory drag washers with modern, carbon fiber components, delivering a noticeably smoother and more powerful drag system for battling hard-fighting salmon and other big game fish.

This aftermarket drag kit is specifically designed to enhance the performance of classic Shimano Moocher reels, models that have been a staple for anglers for decades. If you've noticed your drag sticking, jerking, or lacking the stopping power it once had, this kit is the solution.

The key to this upgrade lies in the advanced carbon fiber drag washers, often referred to as "Carbontex." This material offers significant advantages over the stock felt or canvas washers found in the original reels. Carbon fiber provides a much smoother and more consistent drag pressure, eliminating the frustrating "start-up inertia" that can lead to broken lines and lost fish. Even under heavy loads, these washers will deliver a reliable and predictable drag performance.

Beyond smoothness, this drag kit also offers a substantial increase in drag power. This allows anglers to apply more pressure on running fish with confidence, helping to turn and control them more effectively. The carbon fiber material is also highly durable and resistant to heat buildup, ensuring consistent performance throughout long fights.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to apply a light coating of a quality drag grease to the carbon fiber washers before installation.
