I have a Penn International 12lt and would like to improve the drag to fish 40-50lb test. Do any Ohana members know if i could adjust or change the 
Belleville arrangement to achieve this or would I have to do much more to drag plate also? Looking for 18-20lbs of drag

            Thanks Jim

that's a tough one.  that's alot of drag for such an old reel.  it helps to sleeve the spool bearings and the bellevilles have to be switched around.   :-\
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!
