ABSTRACT:
Friction drag washers for the drag assemblies of fishing reels are provided. The washers are made of a phenolic fiber material which is impregnated under vacuum with oil or an oil and STP oil additive solution. The viscosity of the oil can be changed to accommodate the general conditions of intended use of the reel (i.e. high drag setting--high speed withdrawal--low viscosity oil). The impregnation of the washer affords a self-lubricating lifetime washer which does not need to be changed during the life of the reel. The impregnated washers are easier and quicker to install since they do not need to be greased as they are installed.
