I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a drag upgrade in Auckland it was rated for 15 kg I did test only getting around 10 anyone have this issue or did I get a dud

Has it got the same drag washers as in the spheros FB14000 ? because i found those washers were not so good(Dartanium i think)........You can get carbontex washers off e bay usa and they are reasonably cheap...Tougher....put a light coating of cals grease on each one and you will be away.........I upgraded my 3500/4500/6500 baitrunners with them and they became really smooth..............10kg is still a very useful amount of drag..........Id rather have a smooth 10 kg of drag than a not so smooth 12 or 15 kg any day of the week.......However...be careful because once you start messing with drag washers.....your warranty could be a problem if something goes wrong with the reel..........Nomis above would be able to clarify that, i am sure.

I would be reluctant to make a habit of using any reel at more than 1/3 of the advertised max drag anyway. 

thanks guys  i wish the 10 kegs that it gets to was smooth but its not  still a nice reel though  i thought might have been a different way to get a bit more  without having to go with a twinpower or stella cheers

Take it into a tackle store to check the drags for you.... not smooth may just need a wee lube...

Take out the stack and double check that everything is in the right order and give the washers a light greasing then see how it turns out. Aftermarket Carbontex washers from companies like smooth drag are pretty cheap and can bump up drag figures a touch an won't harm the reel in any way. Barring that you would have to look at an aftermarket spool, Maxel makes a decent spool at a reasonable price.
