Older JX4.1:1 Drag Upgrade

Purchased one of these on a blowout a couple of years back,and have been fishing 30 bait with it.I remember a BD'er saying he added or reconfigured some bellville's to amp up the drags.Did a search,but still want to confirm if the existing washers need reconfiguration,or I need to order another bellville,or Avet has a washer kit they can send me.I'd like to have the option to fish 40 with a little more power at color.The reel certainly has enough grinding power,and have an abundance of lighter 30lb reels.

Thanks sealskinner,that man has given me the courage to open up some of my reels,and before it was baggy time.

contact avet they will send you the extra washer and the diagram showing how to reconfigure the washers to match the drag pressure of the new reels I think it was under $5.00 with shipping
