So I already upgraded the drag washers in my Penn fierce 2 6000. (They come with oiled felt ewww) It significantly increased the max drag of the reel. I have no idea how much max drag it has now, but I was thinking of doing the same thing with an Penn fierce 2 8000. It comes standard with a 25lb max drag rating. My question is how much would the drag increase on the 8000 if I added the carbon fiber drag washers? Is there some way to calculate it?
increasing the drag? probably not. making it smooth in lower and higher ranges, that's what greased carbon fiber is for. match them up with something here and you should be good!
