    I just got carbontex drag washers into my torium and when i set the drag to a reasonable amount, it feels a little harder to crank. Is that normal?

    No, make sure to install "ticker" metal cup washer () first.

    Watch your knuckles and keep a close eye on that anti-dog.

    No worry, we're not going to use full capacity of drag.
    We all know Torium is knuckle buster :)
    We just minimize turning star-drag handle to get 16-18# of drag, instead turning multi turn on the star-drag handle to get 16-18# drag.
    It's like lever drag but on the star drag ;)
