You're lucky to get that 20lbs. No upgrades available.

To answer my own question..........I added an additional metal washer on top of the drag stack, and to my surprise that substantially increased drag output.  The 25N with the 4.8:1 gearset, spool filled to the top, went from around 20# to over 25# of drag without banging on the star with a hammer. 

The 15 gets even more drag. 

I guess there is a lot more deflection of the top metal drag washer than I thought.  The additional washer is a tight fit, and it increased the minimum drag setting (not a problem for what I do). 

I hope someone finds this helpful.  If I ever blow out my anti-reverse, I will report back here!
