Hey... it finally happend my curado caught over 90 fish and now the drags not what it used to be.. so.. where can i buy new drag washers online???

thanks..

Casey

Was it the fish that tore your drag up...or the fact that you keep the drag pinched down when not using your reel?

That's what I figured!

Anyone know where to aquire some drag washers for my Curado...in bulk?

FJ...out.

FJ

Do you loosen the drag after every trip, or only on reels you use once or twice a year?

I never loosen the drag on my Curado, maybe that is why the drag now goes zzzzz....stick....zzzzz....stick....zzzzz....stick

It never hurts to keep your drag backed off any reel that is not in use...the hurt comes from leaving em in the vise!

FJ...out.

ZZZZ... my reel does that now a days when I cast or freespool. Sounds kinda like metal on metal or something hard. Could those be the drag washers?

Matt

Gotcha

hey rip,
My abu started doin that after about 2 months use . what i did was i took the reel and rinsed it under water THROUGHLY, then put a whole sh@t load of oil in it and let is sit for a while to let the oil get into everything, it works now but the drag is still a little on the screwed side, it goes zzzzz...zzzz...zzz... or in other words sounds like its chuggin'! were you by chance fishing barrier last sunday? i heard a reel that was screamin like yours.

FS, you goin this weekend? i'll be there saturday all day and sunday all day cause were campin @ BC.

Hope that helps rip,

Tyler

Rip...you must be at the 150 fish plateau! :p

Could be a weak thumbar spring...or a lazy thumb...but most likely a dirty reel.

Sounds like a tune up is in order!

FJ...out.

My family and I are leaving in the morning to camp also TTT.

See ya there!

FJ...out.

TTT, wasn't me up at the cowlitz. I'd rather stay away from combat fihsing.

Ah crap! the real is only about 5 months old. It has caught 1 fish and lost one, but made millions of casts. I always try to keep it out of the water, dirt, sand, egg goo, scent, you name it. I keep the drag tight, but fish with the real at least 1-2 times a week. Is there a way around drenching the real and using excessive oil. I bought the real from Fishreman's and I'm sure the warranty is still good?

Matt

TTT i am going tomorrow.. i just went to sportco and got a few things to make some jigs to get by..... i might go monday too.. not sure yet... u gonna fish BC or barrier first.. wouldnt mind hooking up

And about the drag.. so where to buy

Tyler

ANTIQUE ANGLER IN SUMNER CAN HOOK YOU UP WITH SOME DRAG WASHERS AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT YOURSELF HE'LL CLEAN YOUR REEL AND INSTALL NEW WASHERS FOR UNDER $2O

If your curado drag is not crystel smooth just take it out clean your reel, wash the drag washer with a good dish detergent, rince with warm water and then use a hair dryer to thourghly dry and presto like new or better...

FS, I think it's toast. Go ahead andsend it to me. I'll cinfirm and use it for parts. No charge for disposal then.

For drag washers, call Ollie Damon's in Portland OR. They have just about everything, and will mail to you.

FS,
You pick up the drag washers give me the reel and I'll clean, lube and install the new washers for you.

How much is this fantastic service gonna cost you?
