Hi guys!
Most drag greases out there on the market are teflon based( eg carls) so i was wondering if any of you guys have actually tried dry teflon spray on the drag washers themselves? thinking of doing it with carbontex drag washers? ??? ???

opinions? ;D

ohk, so what are the results?
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

for light tackle fishing its fine! smooth performance and start up; no diff in performance when compared to  carls
however for bigger fish, the drags discs seem to stick after usage, giving rise to jerking drags and high start ups!

also the teflon spray does not repel water as well as grease!

might as well use carls HAHAHA

Thanks for the research. Too bad it made you have to redo the reel though.
