Toby--never used the penn washers. What I use is the Xtreme Smooothies, in both 6000s and 7000s class reels. The 7000s, with this washer upgrade has been good to me.

Have you tried these? and if you have and still like the penns better let me know.

For me, the drag issues with the 6500s has usually come from a dunked reel. Once the reel gets good and wet the grease on the main gear shaft and the main gear ends up in the washers. I go real easy with the grease and oil in abus. I also don't wash these reels with a direct blow from the hose. Wipe them down that's all.
With the washer upgrades any drag issue is usually my error and not the reels.
