Abu Revo gen 1 premier drag

Post by sofinesse » Sun Jan 24, 2016 3:09 pm

Hey all,
I've lost one too many fish due to the drag slipping on this reel. I am getting about 3 lbs of drag on full lock down at the reel likely + a few lbs at the rod tip. I have already checked the Belleville washers and they are arranged (). Anyone have experience dropping in an stx drag stack into the premier? From what I can see schematically the premier has a single washer housed inthe main gear with a steel washer on top, while the stx has a stack of 2-3 drag washers and steel washers alternating. My question is would the stx drag stack just drop in to the premier gears or would I have to do some sort of different arrangement? I don't need 24 lbs of drag or anything, but I'd like at least something like 8 lbs. thanks in advance.

Premier 1 gen has a super weak drag.
Buy a carbontex kit.
It comes with an extra washer
