Titus 15L drag washer?

DanteV · August 13, 2014, 04:13:02 PM

Figured I'd add one more reel to the bag for my 4-day next weekend.. I wanted to do the bearings and remove the level-wind. All went well until I got to the drag.. where can I get a carbon drag for this? The washer appears to be keyed. If I can't get one in time it won't be the end of the world but would be nice..

Okuma?
Smoothdrag? (I didn't see one on their website)

A call to Okuma said no-go on the carbon washer..

Think this is what you need...seem to recall that the washer has a metal backing plate...whether you have time to do it is another matter.

I'll look into that after my trip. For now the existing drag washer will have to do.. that's a cool video, thanks for posting that up!

Hi Dante,

What is the OD, ID and the OD with tabs on that reel. That looks like a TLD washer may fit.

Have just done titus 20L cut from sheet with aviation tin snips, file and sandpaper
I split the old washer to use as a spacer as it is very thick and the pressure plate doesnt have enough travell
This was my solution others may have different ideas
Just waiting on a handle for this
ps I removed the level wind and plugged hole with a 2 part epoxy cement (Knead it)
Hope this either helps or starts a disscussion on how it should be done right

Best Jon
