tim, i'm not much on fly reels. i've had a couple of guys bring over heavier reels that they use for tarpon. these got carbon fiber drag washers and actually came out great. don't know about these. never worked on one before.

Thanks for the reply Alan.

Ummm not sure what you ment but this is actually just a small spinning reel similair to the shimanos.
If this is what you ment how would I go by getting some carbon fibre washers and installing them.?????

Thanks Heaps Tim

oops, sorry. i was thinking of the fly reel.

top drag spinners are generally easy. the drag washers in the spool pop right out. replace them with a greased penn drag washer. if you can measure them out, you can match them up with a washer from this list. http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=21.0
