Why are the octagonal drags producing more drag?

With the standard keyed, eared drag stack the CF washer floats and is only "working" on one of the metal washers.  With hex or octo CF washers and keyed metal washers both sides "work", theoretically doubling the potential drag.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Take a look at Penn's Versa Drag system and how they explain it may help you to understand...at least visually.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

More. Really a 66% increase all told, since more working washers fit into the same space.
