Dunno what prices are in AUS, but just ordered some 750yd Spools of ANDE Pink fishing mono from the states for around $12 each + delivery. Picked up a few other things like carbontex drag washers for my ABU's to fix the sticky drags..

Figure if i sepnd a bit of money on some fishing gear I might start fishing again.. Spending it all on Firearms latley..

Have to have the correct carbontex for each drag system, there's different grades & not all are suited to reel in Q

The original & best ABU's had leather washers & they only got sticky when leather got dry
Easy fix just pull them apart & re-grease the washers
Moly grease is the best & it can also be used on cabontex, it's prime purpose is to stop drag stick

Got the right ones buddy, The 4000-6000 all use the same drag washers now.. They are pretty shit, i tried pulling them out and polishing them on a very fine diamond stone and then re greasing but just as shitty so ill go with som carbon ones and a small amount of molly grease? or graphite powder??? What about lube used for resizing brass??
