Title: Carbontex sheets
Post by: Abrocketman on May 18, 2023, 07:33:31 AM

Hi guys


I have a Shimano Twin Power. I was cleaning the reel and saw that one of the drag washers had been damaged. Where can I get a carbonTex sheet in South Africa? The sheets are available in different thicknesses. Please help guys.

I also had a problem with drag washers that was broken, I order but never got it so I used a gasket.
The thickness of the gasket is just a bit thinner than the clips you get when you buy bread.
I used it in a Jig master 500. Got more drag out than the normal drag washers.
Just an idea in case you want to try something new.....
