I've had mixed results with the super smoothies. Replaced 3 sets of drags on 30 yr old ABU 7000's and they are 1000% smoother than the stock washers I replaced.

Swapped out washers on a 6500 C4 and it made almost ZERO differnce. Herky jerky at any setting tight enough to handle real salmon fishing. I resort to keeping them set light so they will pay out line smoothly, put the clicker alarm on for additional drag, and then judiciously applying my thumb as needed during the fight.

Now that I have used Calcutta TE's and Tekota's, I know better. ABU drags really do suck.
