If you have an older reel, especially shimano, change them out. I have a torium and tekota that for both, I had to scrape out the old drags. With the new carbontex washers, they are awesome! Don't put too much drag grease or performance will decrease.

X2 on the new reels. I bought a new Shimano recently and bought two sets of carbontex thinking I was going to change it out. Looks like Shimano has already upgraded the drags in the Cardiff to carbontex-like drags.

The folks at smoothdrag.com are awesome! Quick shipping to CA and they stand behind their product. I had an issue with one of the drag pieces and they sent a replacement for free and no hassle!
