Hi Mike —

The best way to almost double your drag on these, is to cut (2) CF washers —- one for under the spool, and one on top.

These should be LIGHTLY greased with Cal's —- with the grease worked into the weave and texture of the CF's.

Then just install the matching metal drag disc, the felt ring —- and finally the drag knob.

You can experiment with multiple drags —- because there is room.  And in addition —- the spool line-lay can be adjusted for various heights very simply.  It is bullet-proof,quick, and simple.  A very unique and clever feature.  This helps when working with various drag combos.

Let me know if I can help with any parts —- I do have all of the original drags —- which should NOT be greased.

It is fun to experiment with different drag combos.

Best, Fred

I should have added to my post is you can try cork gasket material , even if it has some rubber composition to it .   Try it dry do a drive way test .

   I have spools with cork on the bottom of the spool  and carbon in the middle drag stack that i am happy with pulling small sharks .     King fish should be showing up soon , that will be the real test.
