Title: CF Drags for a Penn 420ss
Post by: SevenYearsDown on July 27, 2023, 10:45:02 PM
Just picked this reel up at a swap meet. Does anyone know if there are CF drags available for this? All I see are for the 420ssg, not entirely sure if they are the same. Thank you.

You can always cut your own.
I think this has only the teflon washer to keep stuff from breaking.
The 716Z is the same way.

They came with Teflon. I suppose you can go to CF if you really feel the need but the stock Teflon is more than adequate if the reel is used within its design parameters and capabilities. Check Smooth Drag for the correct size CFs.
