One last mod to the 6500 size Abus--replace two of the composite washers in the drag stack with two 704 sized Penn HT-100 washers. Makes a big difference in drag performance--smoother and it holds the pressure setting. The stock Abu drags are jerky and tend to fade. Greasing them makes the jerkiness go away, but they hold even less pressure.
I found two "smoothie" washers, that I bought years ago, to replace the washer that goes underneath the main gear. I'm going to install them this winter--if my season ever ends, that is
