hi,

have recently bought one of these reel.took it apart and happy to see that they do comes with 3 carbon fibre drag washer.happy with that and go ahead and swapped out the plastic washer below the main gear.try out with one piece of cf washer and put everything back.............drag seems to be very week so open it up and add another piece of cf washer under the main gear and seems to get more than i expected.is this type of setup allright for jigging?.

it should be fine for that application, but it's a pretty small reel.  how much drag are you getting now?  and the drags were greased already, right?  alan
