Title: advice required - carbontext spare, saltiga handle, wild violence
Post by: Hayden Brooks on April 21, 2009, 08:08:39 PM
I am looking for a recommendation where I can buy carbontex drag washers for my dogfight.
I am also looking for a spare handle for my dogfight.
I would also like to purchase a wild violence, could you recommend a web based retailer from OS that i should order from?

any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

First two, no problem, Hayden

You can get the carbontex drag washers from Fishhead.
You can get the spare handle from any Daiwa dealer - they just have to order it in for you. You also can look at an aftermarket handle like the Studio Ocean Mark or MC Works.

On your third request, all I can say is good luck. If you manage to find one, a lot of our members would love to know where you found it! The reality is that there is no stock or production available to overseas retailers outside of Japan at the moment.

you can also go to jackerskine.com  which is the homepage for precision reel engineering where they make the carbontex washers. They have the cals grease too.
