I bought some tournies with Weston spools and caps. Drag was shocking and way too quick. Binned all plastic washers and replaced with felt from old Daiwa spools. Much better than it was but still not as good as it could be. A lot less 1980 mitchell though.

I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination
But surely mixing the carbon/plastic or whatever medium they decide to use the. Mixing it with the original felt washers could/should make the perfect balance ?

Don't suppose anyone knows the part number for the standard felt drag washers for SS3000's?

Already checked that buddy. It just shows the spool assembly p/no, not the individual p/no's for the assembly components. But cheers anyway

Not sure if daiwa are open at the moment with the lockdown issues but i have found them very helpful when i have contacted them in the past, i haven't had ss3000's but have had 5000 tournys im sure the felt washers are the same as the ones that in my emblem z's and spod reel so should be an easy to source washer

All I can find online are these carbon/ice jobbies. Tricky to find the felt ones.
