| Has anyone made this switch on their reels? Did you notice a difference in performance or is it simply that the ceramic is more durable? |

Location: Grand Rapids MN | Mackerel, did you replace an 'old' pawl with this new ceramic one? I would think the main function of the ceramic coating/layer is for better wear resistance but it may make it smoother. I have no experience with these but when I go to replace my Abu pawls I'm going to give them a shot. Can't hurt.

Check out Mikes Reel Repair for those.....And you can swap out the drag discs for carbon fiber. That helps as well.... |

Location: Minnesota | The ceramic pawl is a good, inexpensive upgrade. You may consider changing the worm gear as well, depending the age. I have seen good life out of them.
