    Pier#r, I was looking at that site for the drag stack and they have a spool with the drag set included. Do you know if that's the upgraded HT-100 or the original set? I like having a extra spool I'm my tackle bag

    Will those HT-100's fit my old 712Z?

    You'll need part number 56-720SP for your 712z Carl. It includes a whole new stack of three HT-100 carbon fiber washers, metal washers and a new retaining ring. Just pry out the retainer and it's an easy DIY project. Some Cal's or Shimano drag grease on the HT-100's really smooths out the drag.
