Well, I went ahead and added a fourth metal washer to my TE's. I put the thickest flat one in there. I can dig up a part number. Just not right now. I just moved and my whole world is a bit mixed up. Moving is the worst! Not sure of the correct terminology. Key washer, flat washer, concave washer, convex washer...I don't know. I don't have the parts diagram in front of me. But that is what I did and it definitely helped out with drag slip on hooksets. I tried Carbontex washers too. I took the Carbontex washers out after a year. Not a fan. I reused the stock Shimano drag washers with hardly ANY grease...and I'm definitely happy enough. I also fish left-handed(I'm right handed though) so I use my dominant arm on hooksets. That doesn't matter though right?
Got to ask
Of the Thousands of Carbontex Drag kits I have installed in reels over the years No One has Ever said they did not like them over Stock Drag Washers
Y do U like stock washers over Carbontex ??
I'm very curious |

Location: central illinois | Stock drag 3 metal washers too much slip on hooksets. Carbontex drag 3 metal washers still some slip on hooksets. Carbontex drag 4 metal washers no slip on hooksets but too much drag. Stock drag 4 metal washers hardly any slip on hooksets and still decent drag in my opinion. That is what works for me. |

To each there own
Y not back off the drag star a little ??
The stock drag washers jerk so badly when they do slip.
OK thanks for your answer

| if your in the business of selling reels and the reels you sell are not wearing out than your probably not selling many reels! |
