There is a guy over on THT that swears these are the tits, and argues that any other method is junk. I use smooothie drag washers in my Abu 6500-7000 reels, dry. Never had a drag problem/failure. I think the type of fishing he is talking about is mostly tuna (fish that take long hard runs). For stripers, I have never had a drag failure with dry drag washers. I've used the smoooothies in a 6500 series reel on school BFT to 30 pounds and albies/bonito without any issues as well.
