Daiwa 5000C QD reels quick honest review, washers swap to ice(carbon),common drag problems explain

In this video, I'm sharing my reels drag problems that I experienced, I believe these problems are quite common, causes can be different, but I'm trying to identify the main one.
Also offering which I believe to be a decent solution, the replacement of the manufacturer drag washers to carbon(ice) ones.
The video includes a quick, honest, and practical review.

Thanks! I have a Diawa Crosscast 4000 of the same model with the same drag system but felt washers. The owner's manual is in Japanese, and the schematics are not the best. I'd like to go fishing with you!

I'm based in Liverpool, but if we can arrange a fishing trip anytime soon will be great!

@@fishingforaginguk9267 I live in Florida. It might be more fun here this time of year. Lol! I wonder why reel manufacturers overcomplicate the design. Old school Penn spinning reels made in the USA had only a single carbon washer and single stainless steel washer held in place by a strong round stainless steel spring clip (not wire-thin pentagon). They had more than double the surface area. They didn't click, you had precise control. You wanted to keep them clean of oil and grease, but water was not a problem. I still have a couple. They have held up well, and I have never lost a fish because of the drag-still smooth after all these years. Tight lines!

Got the Crosscast too Alex no complaints of me just takes a bit of getting use too. Great reels for the price aren’t they. See ya on the bank soon mate.

Great reel and good value,if you add the ice washers drag works a dream,see you soon man!

Would these same washers be ok for my crosscast BK 5000A thanks

[@fishingforaginguk9267]

I don't think so, each reel has different models of washers.

My reels dont make the clicking sound do you know something that wil fix this

[@fishingforaginguk9267]

I believe is the type of washers you installed, some are different, but if it feels smoother and the drag is quicker it shouldn't be a problem.

Check underneath the spool. There should be a spring. It will have come un seated. Re seat the spring or replace

The water wouldn’t cause that problem with the drag....it’s because it’s cheaply made with cheap materials no other reason. I dip my reels every time I’m on the bank to soak the line never have I encountered an issue with my drag after it on any reel I’ve owned over 25 years and as you mention 2/3 day sessions I usually do 3/5 and as I said previously I’ve never encountered an issue like that in 25 years
