carbon drag and brass washers

[Snagged2]

well, from my POV,, this is helpful, as I just acquired for cleaning and upgrade to carbon drags,, a Mitchell 908,, a little tiny spinning reel that is used with 6# test.. and, it has uncoated brass washers,,, I was concerned about using the carbon drags,,

but, what the heck,, I will install them with Cals grease and let'r rip!!  The owner fo the reel mentioned, that the drags HAD to be smooth!!

Thanks for the info!!

I used to watch Charlie brown. Well back with the washers, there should be no issues with the carbon fiber drag and any washers you use, been fishing them many years. Now it could be that someone had some really cheap plated washers that were plated poorly. But all that aside I have used very heavy drag setting with no issues.

Thanks to all for your answers. The vintage reels i use usually have unplated washers. Will order some carbon sheets and Cal grease from internet and give them a try.
