Is there a way to increase drag pressure on a casting reel? I was about to switch out some drag washers (Carbontex) but really what I'm after is more drag power. I've assumed my drags are old and just need new washers. Suggestions?

Carbontex will add power, especially if installed dry.

LOL, I caught the backhanded compliment. I've done a couple XLTs, and yeah - a little too "innovative." But they were a cool idea, if a little over baked in the engineering dept.

LOL.....engineering huh :eyebrows: it's a wonder they haven't tried bringing them back on the Revo...

On my spinning reels Iset the drag real tight and back reel. Bait casters I set the drag light. If I want a little more drag I squeeze the spool with my thumb . If I want a lot of drag I squeeze with both t.humbs

"innovation" at Abu never reached a pinnacle higher than that of the Eon!
