Another 349H Drag Solution

[George4741]

Followed your instructions and while I have not fished it,  the water bucket test gives me a drag # of about 15-16 lbs.

I haven't fished with mine, either, but I also get the same drag numbers with my 349H.  Interestingly, I get about about 29lbs drag with my 349 (not 349H).  I suppose the 1-2.1 gear ratio, and who knows what else , has something to do with the increased drag in that reel.  15lbs drag will be enough for me.
