lube to put on felt drag ŵasher.

[ScottOz]

What type of lube to put on felt drag washer in medium sized Shimano spin reel.Reel is a old Triton speed master tss-4.Thanks Scott.

if your going to fiddle with drags, may as well put carbon fibre washers in, they will last for years, cheers don.

I'm with Don - greased carbon fibre washers. Smoother and last for ages

x3. let me know if you need a washer.  measure it out.  the outside diameter is most important.

[ScottOz]

Thanks guys.I only run 20lb line on this reel and have been happy with the drag performance thus far.If I can fix a bail roller issue that I have been working on I will take you up on that offer Boss.Generous as always.No doubt cf would be better.Roller issue is in the spin section under Shimano.Wish I found this sight years ago so I would have been better at maintenance.Better late then never.Cheers

Scotty, if you ever want to clean the inside of a roller out, or a bushing, get a slightly smaller drill bit and rap fine steel wool around it, give it a spin or two, then lube it, good luck, cheers Don.

[ScottOz]

Cool idea Donny.One to remember.Thanks

I am surprised Shimano still sells the older drag washer materials, change them out for Carbontex and you will be happy with the results.

[ScottOz]

Hey Keta, it was the bail roller I got from Shimano.Alan is getting a set of cf washers for me.Yesterday was my lucky day.
