Looking for Shimano drag washers.  I tried a site called eReplacementParts.com and after a few days after ordering the parts they emailed me and said they didn't have them in stock!

Where do you guys order your parts from?

X3 Smoothdrag.  Also a tip - call or email - while their website lists a LOT of stuff - it doesn't list everything so just because you don't see it don't assume they don't have it. - john

Wompus Cat - Not sure but think you are asking for a link?  https://www.smoothdrag.com/
Dawn also has a Board in the General Repair section on this site - Smooth Drag  Hope that is what you were asking?
And to the original post from fishyaf - most of the major manufacturers have repair and service centers (although Covid has played all kinds of hell with supply chains).  The Shimano complex in Irvine is...well...freaking huge.  I haven't been to Okuma up in Rancho Cucamonga but I have to think it is also pretty comprehensive.  But I also understand that quite a few of the major brands, when they phase out/update a reel - suddenly the parts for the old version (even if only a few years old) become "unobatanium".  I'm not sure exactly how old the Shimano reel(s) are you are looking to service, but it never hurts to start with the manufacturer...- john

I've about had it with eReplacementParts.  They have a lot of stuff but there is always a hitch.  Usually that means incredibly slow shipping.
