Title: Torium 16
Post by: MarlynOC on March 19, 2010, 12:20:57 AM
Have regreased torium 16, have not changed to carbontex drag washers but when I reassembled reel only get about 5# drag out of the reel.  There were 3 drag washers plus the washer below the main gear.  Should there be more washers?  I intend to order new washers and will change them out but wondered if I had done something wrong that so little drag.

Maybe check the orientation and order of the washers and belleville washers under the drag star??

Cheers, BigT

the other thing is the carbontex washer that goes underneath the main gear. i think it's just a shade on the thin side.  i usually use a penh ht-100 #6-113h washer instead.  alan
