you should have quoted Alan's response later in that thread.
"many of you know that a greased carbon fiber drag has been my standard for many years. i am happy to say that this drag system is now used in the flagship two speed reels of penn, shimano, daiwa, accurate, and okuma. avet is last company that does not. i find that odd, but not odd enough to warrant a review of my current procedures. clearly in the minority, avet's stance troubles me little. for those of you that wish to abide by avet's policies, i wish you luck. for those of you that wish to grease your drag washers, i welcome you to the dark side......."
so penn, shimano, daiwa, accurate, and okuma all use grease huh?
I'd much rather listen to Cal Sheets and Alan Tani than a manufacturer. You can do as you wish. I'll be on the dark side...
