AvCarb's carbon fiber materials provide stable dynamic and static coefficients of friction, providing smooth line payout during fish striking, preventing line breaks. Many high end competition fishing reels as well as mainstream hobbyist’s reels now use AvCarb’s family of fishing drag materials to pull in their catch. AvCarb engineers worked directly with leading fishing reel manufacturers to develop a solution that improved the stopping power and smoothness of fishing reel drags. Wet or dry, the material also maintains stable friction and dissipates heats throughout long fights.
