I think VS uses their own graphite washers these days in the older VS reels, but obviously a Penn drag should still work in there too since it was what was in there orginally. I could be wrong about that, but I'm fairly sure.

I seem to remember being told that they went to their own more porous graphite washers to discourage any skipping when the drag gets really wet.
