if you get a chance, measure the inside and outside diameters of the felt drag washers and i'll send you some carbon fiber drags to replace them!!!!   ;D

I have a bunch of these
Switching out the drag mat makes huge improvement

After the upgrade u should use an electronic scale and set drag to 0.3555 lb
I feel ensuring accuracy to the 1000th decimal place is criticalis  ;D

the penn #6-60 ht-100 washer usually works in these.  i mostly need the outside diameter.  it doesn't have to be exact.
