There's not a direct relationship but I can see how a larger main gear would have more avaialble mass for a drag washer but it is rarely all used. You then have washer stacks that are use in certain designs. Max drag is meaningless in a bass reel anyway. Basic drag setting is 1/3 of line weight which is about 7# for 20# line. Locking a drag down puts unnecessary strain on the whole setup.
