All,

So I caught stripers on two of my reels that I have upgraded to carbontex wet drags.

All I can say is, if you haven't you need to switch to wet carbon fiber drags.  It is so smooth and so seamless that the difference is nothing more than amazing.  No stickyness at all and great performance during those late fight surges that stripers are so enamoured with.

Both the drags on my Epixor spinning reel and my curado 201bsf were tested by fish this weekend and they were tip top.  Color me converted!

Glad to see another convert.  I upgraded the drags on all of my Abu's and all of my Shimano Tritons last year and they all perform like a whole new reel after the conversion.  Like butta'.
