Sustain 5000FG Carbontex

Submitted by GGs on Mon, 2014-10-27 20:24

Hey guys,

Has anyone here upgraded the drag on a Sustain 5000FG to carbontex? Im considering it for an upcoming exy trip as this reel will be on a tuna stickbait setup. From what i have found on the site the carbontex upgrade is worthwhile for all reels except Stellas?

Cheers

do it.

Carbon drag washers are far superior to felt IMO and are worth the @$20

 I've done it to my stradics and my sustain 2500 much more smoother

Thanks for that guys. Ive already replaced the drag on it once after getting smoked by a horse pinkie that was being chased by a white.
