[QUOTE="Insanity, post: 385702, member: 14077"] I'm assuming it fits on the front of the spool under the hand tighten nut? If so its for the drag. As you tighten it. It creates friction against the spool causing it to slip less or lossened for more slip. You don't want it tighter then the weight line your using. You want it to slip before the line breaks off on say a fish. Or say you set the hook in a stump it prevents the rod being broken. Usually there Teflon looking material and not rubber. Hum might have a rubber one stacked in there come to think of it. Are we on the same page or are you talking about another reel part? [/QUOTE]
