They have the carbon matrix drag that is better than those smoothies.

The power handle really helps to crank.

I just put the Carbontex Smooothie Combo Drag Washer Kit and power handles (From HO) on a 6500 C3 & C4. Very nice drag! MUCH better than the original smoothies. I use the reels for muskie fishing, and casting distance is not at a premium (why I did not upgrade the bearings).

Cannot say enough good things about HO! They offer great products, and outstanding service.
