My manual says that I have a two sided drag , but upon disassembly, it seems like the carbon disk is glued to the spool. A knife blade between the spool and disk won't budge it. The reel is used, but new to me. I found a bit of corrosion at the side plate screws, but overall good shape. I used yamaha blue grease on metal parts, and cal's drag grease on the drag. I then wiped off all of cals that I could. Seems like a great reel.
the raptor is double sided. the plain hx is not.
