How much of a drag increase should I get adding carbontex to a penn 113h?

Carbon fiber won't actually add drag capacity (unless you're changing the configuration etc), but it'll be smoother and more predictable/reliable under load (as well as lasting basically forever).
On average it's about 5lb per carbon fiber washer, so a 5+1 set up will average around 25-30lbs...
