Title: Carbontex washers for Penn 9/0 unavailable?
Post by: Guitarfish1 on January 13, 2012, 01:58:55 AM
I'm looking for some carbontex to upgrade my reel's drag. Smooth drag didn't have any, and was uncommital on when, to get any. Any help out there on locating some. I started here and there, even looked "Down Under". I want the five washer set to replace a 3 washer set. Help! and Thanks!

If you're replacing the 3 washers, you will need the complete kit, the metal washers that you have now are too thick.  I believe kit # 114HSP should work. Reelygone.com has them on sale right now for $10.50 free shipping, but only in USA. You won't find a better deal anywhere.

use regular penn ht-100 drag washers and put a #6-114 under the main gear.
