Question for Real Reel Experts!

I recently inherited a Shimano Corvalus 301 (Lefty).

I really like the low profile size, but I noticed on the spec sheet that the drag maxes out at a weaksauce 11 lbs.

What are some ways that I can increase this max drag? Can I just add some drag discs, or is that max drag limited by something else?


In case anyone is wondering, the reel is very smooth, with very little play, and even though it is the lowest rung in the Shimano Round Baitcaster lineup, it's actually a very nice reel. It even has Levelwind and Shimano's VBS, in addition to static drag adjustments. On this particular model, the Levelwind mechanism disengages on the cast.
