Fishing Reels

Advantages of AvCarb® Carbon Fiber Materials in Sporting Goods

AvCarb® carbon fiber materials offer several significant advantages when used as fishing reel drag washers:
  • High Durability

    AvCarb is known for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear and tear. This means that drag washers made from AvCarb can withstand the constant pressure and friction that occurs during fishing, providing long-lasting performance.

  • Rapid Heat Dissipation

    AvCarb has excellent thermal conductivity, allowing it to dissipate heat quickly and efficiently. This is crucial in preventing overheating and maintaining consistent drag performance, even under heavy loads.

  • Thermal Stability

    AvCarb® thermal stability ensures that its properties remain consistent over a wide range of temperatures. This is particularly important in extreme fishing conditions where temperature fluctuations can affect the performance of drag washers.

  • Smooth Drag

    AvCarb’s consistent coefficient of friction contributes to a smooth and consistent drag. This helps to prevent line breakage and ensures that the angler has precise control over their fishing reel.

  • Lightweight

    AvCarb is a relatively lightweight material, which can be beneficial in reducing the overall weight of a fishing reel. This can improve handling and reduce fatigue, especially for anglers who spend long hours fishing.

  • Corrosion Resistance

    AvCarb is resistant to corrosion, making it a suitable choice for fishing reels that may be exposed to saltwater or other corrosive environments.

AvCarb carbon fiber materials can be used in ALL fishing reels: Fly Trolling, Spinning, Casting and may be used with or without lubricants!
