Dawn thought the same washers as Trinidad 16 but was not 100% positive. Anyone changed the stock out with Carbontex? Kit or washer size? TIA!

What's wrong with the stock greased carbon fiber washers?

It is not my reel. Friend likes Carbontex over stock Shimano on his other Shimano reels.

Shimano dartanium II is similar to HT-100 and Carbontex and all are woven carbon fiber.  The origonal dartanium drag washers were garbage

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Shimano hasn't used the original Craptanium for at least 10 years.
