Daiwa exceller drag (wet or dry)

The drag on my 2000 exceller plus is very sticky. Pulled it appart and there is only one washer.
I cant find anywhere that say wether it is wet or dry.
So i dont know if i need to use graphite powder or grease

I think Daiwa drag uses grease.

My excelers drag went like that after only 6 months. My best advice is to scrap the stock drag and get some carbontex in there.

+1 for the carbontex makes a huge difference for around $20

Carbon x sounds like the go. I oiled the drag and it is working much better now.

Use Shimano or Cal's grease on the drag.
It will make it super smooth but only use very little or you'll have no drag at all.
