I would Email or contact Dawn at Smoothdrags to see if she has a set of Carbontex for it..

If not the blank stock Carbontex can be easily cut and shaped  to fit...
She has that available also (I think??) check with her...

Anyone with an english manual for this reel? I have it in Japanese. I know its JDM but its also available in Australia so there should be an english version. The manual should at least have the part number so I can reference it with other Daiwa reels for the spool and washer size.
