    Have about 20 Okuma trolling reels that I would like to update the drags on this winter. They are a mix of Convector and Coldwater, with most the Coldwater versions. About a half dozen 15’s,couple 20’s, 10 or so 30’s, and about 4 45’s.
    While the Coldwater drags are slightly better than the connectors, they all suck, especially after some use. Also has anyone greased their drags? I’m fine with losing some max drag, as long as it works good at a light drag setting.
    So the question is, has anyone upgraded with either of these?

    I’ve used smoothdrag’s carbontex drag washers in my old Curado 300s and stradic FIs. Use Cals grease with both, Cals regular (tan) for the Curados and Cals light (purple) for the stradics since I use them ice fishing. Would recommend!
