Alan et al ... Just picked up an older LX 4.1 in pretty good shape, did the regular rebuild ( clean up, greased drag, spool bearing oil, etc.) and came out well - good free spool, very smooth drag, can get 15#'s at strike...The only problem I ran across was that at that rated drag setting (15#), the preset knob bottoms out. Drag is ok for now, but I'm worried that after a few runs, I'll run out of room on the drag... Any suggestions?... Can I add a bellville or 2 to the stack? Current set up is six washers in the ()()() configuration... I like the reel, also would be great to get a few more #'s of drag @strike....any ideas would be very welcome.... Thanks

add a flat washer or another belleville next to the belleville stack already in place.  if you want me to mail you a couple, send me a pm with your address.  alan
