any plans to make it a 7 stack ?
These do better than a 7 stack, with 5 washers you'll get 9 working surfaces.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Sal, with a 7-stack won't there be 13 working surfaces, or am I missing something? I'm going to have to sit down and draw the two out and figure out which surfaces are the working surfaces - I figure there's a maximum of 2/CF drag washer, but somehow you're coming up with one less working surface; I need to figure out which one that is. Can you please explain? Thanks. Maybe I don't understand the star drag mechanism as well as I thought. I'm all ears and here to learn.

Yes, but it would be way too much that reel. We like to keep the carbon fiber eared washers 1mm in thickness, or more.
Using 1mm carbon fiber washers  would limit it to 5, 7 won't fit ...and that's a good thing.

OK, thanks, that helps, but which of the surfaces is not a working surface? Is it the uppermost one in contact with the slotted washer?

The first carbon fiber washer at the bottom gives  one working surface, the rest of the carbon fiber washers  have two.

Thats right. I forgot about the varying thickness for the washers.

I am checking on the key and spring washers price's difference between stainless steel and titanium.

Here is a picture on this 113HX gear set. It is heading to Sal for testing.

Sweet!

That looks like a strong set.

Wish I needed one.

Here is the testing result from Sal on this 113HX 4:1 "Easy Access" stainless steel gear set. This gear set was pushed to around 55# drag under stress tested by Sal.

Here are few pictures in gear set with the SS double dogged bridge.

55#s on a 113H, wow.
I think I'll run this in my marlin special and fill it with unlimited braid. I guess I could use it for Godzilla?

Where's the sign up sheet?

I don't think we will need one. I will have enough.

Wow!  I get sick and busy and don't keep up with things for a few months and look at what you come up with!   I have a 90% complete "Tank" I was building for this years halibut season that must have one of these gear sets.

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