Maximum Drag for These Reels

[sundancer]

They are CF. 

Thanks

They should be, fiber, keyed, fiber, eared, fiber, keyed, the extra metal washer is most likely a spacer like noyb72 said above.

The spacer is to make up for the difference in thickness between the old fiber washers and the HT-100 ones.  For a 3 stack 2 CF washers, keyed, 2 CF washers, eared, 2 CF washers, keyed.   113H CF washers will work.  I know Smooth Drag has 5+1 kits for the 349H but I'm not sure about the 349, I might have a set left over but I'll have to look.  You can easily convert this reel to the "H" by replacing the main and pinion gears.

Is there much to be gained in changing to the 2nd configuration?

Not as far as I can tell.  You will be much better off with the 5+1 drag stack.

I seem to have a cf, keyed, cf, keyed, cf, eared, cf, keyed, larger thick top washer, spacer, 2 bellville, star adjuster configuration.

A drag stack that was assembled wrong.  The metal washers need to alternate or they will not function properly.
