Thicker oil in the bearings will slow it down. (if this reel has bearings) It might only have some type of bushings!
I don't know about that reel, but if there is room between the sideplate and spool and you can put a couple static mags on the sideplate to slow it down. Just glue(epoxy) a thin piece of ferrous metal to the sideplate and let the mags stick to it.
If you search around you might be able to buy a modern "light" spool for the reel. This will definatly help with the reel inertia.
PS--did you order custom sideplates for your daiwa? last I knew you only had the spool tension knob to slow it down.
