Smoothie switch.

I just did it. They were at my door when i got outta work at 1am. M&D's is quick, thanks mike. 3am but its done i think. ITs a 7000c3. With the stock drags it clicks when the drag lets go. With the smoothies is it supposed to make that same noise? They do seem quite a bit smoothieR but still make the noise, just wanna make sure i did it right or if its back to work. I assume the teflon side of the washers go towards the guts of the reel, please say i did it right. Thanks a lot.

Everything is better on the rocks.

It will still click when it takes drag on a 7000. Did you get the washer under tha main gear as well? The smoothies have more friction than the stock washers.

On the 7000C3 there is a faint clicking when the drag is pulled; at least mine has been like that since I got it and I have no complaints with the functionality of the reel....

I have a couple 7000s (7001s actually). That click is just built into the drags. I like hearing it because w/50 pound power pro and the drag cranked down its usually a sign of a good fish.
