Title: drag grease
Post by: ppvj64 on December 15, 2014, 12:16:08 AM
Just wondering if Im not putting enough grease on my teflon drag washers or any drag washers as a matter of fact. Do you slather them up like you would grease up the gears inside the reel or just a light coat. Im pretty new to this stuff so thanks for the help

thorough coat.  for lever drag reels, wipe off the excess.  for star drag reels, the excess will compress out.
