113 Hn Baja special drags, dimensions?

[trond_solem]

Does anyone have the exact dimensions of the Baja Special drags?

ID, OD excluding the ears, radius of the ears, OD measured on top of the ears, thickness.

[Robert Janssen]

Yes, Sal answered this question explicitly a couple of years ago when i started messing with ears, hex drags and all that.

Just gimme a few minutes to find the thread.

Thanks!
I had hopes for a insert into the 9/0 gear, but the max diameter of the drags are more than the ID of the gear.
Any eared drag washers with a slightly smaller OD?
I can make a cutter to cut drag washers myself, but it it easyer to buy them.

I think Adam is coming out with an insert for the 6/0-9/0 gear

Yes, but that one requires custom drag washers. I was hoping for a solution that could use common available (stock) drag washers.

Yes, Adam did come with the inserts, I just got done testing them.
I wasn't able to go outside, everything is frozen. All I will tell you for now is that I got some crazy numbers, ok I'll tell you.
The unbelievable numbers I got by holding the reel with my two hands and pulling, was 70lb.
I'm having problems downloading pictures from the phone to the computer, I will post later at its own location.

I tried that and it doesn't work. I've installed 11 or 13 carbon fiber washer in one of my reels, I don't remnember exactly. The drag jumped to 20lb, nothing before that and when it reached the max it was just a little more than the seven stack.

A stock 9/0 with 5 carbon fiber washers will max out at 30lb, you could get more, but I'm keeping it real. These would be the numbers from you turning the star with one hand. With that said, not everyone  has the same strength,  I'm sure I'm not as strong as some, this is based from me turning the star with one hand.
The stock reel 9/0 gets jerky at max, a good sign that it wouldn't be able to handle that load for a long stretch. The new latest upgrade gets you to 30lb with very little effort and remains very smooth .

That is exactly what I am looking for.

[fIsHsTiiCkS]

70lb?!? Is insane Sal. Great to know those inserts are coming along nicely!

Trond, if the insert isn't the way you want to go then there is always Bryans 7 stack that should give you 30lb smooth drag and you can cut those easy from sheets of cf. Also, Alan C. Is coming out with a versa drag style gear for the 9/0. I don't think that will be for awhile though.

[Alto Mare]

Yes, Bryan's kit will get you there a little smoother, you would still be at max. Comparing stock washers, (not taking thickness into consideration) with the custom insert is like comparing apples to oranges.
Trond, if you would like to keep the same shape as stock washers, Bryan's kit would be the way to go.

It may be, but the shipping cost and import taxes make them expensive. :-(

For one or two sets there are better ways to get them to Scandinavia.

I believe trond_solem was talking about stock EARED washers, not regular drag washers. He wants to fit an insert or gear without making custom eared washers.

I have been wondering this myself for sometime, but havn't really followed up on it.  There are now several different stock eared carbon fiber washers available.  Utilizing this size in a custom insert, or custom gearset might be worth exploring.  I am not familar with the dimensions and differences between the different washers that are currently available from the manufacturer, maybe someone else has already explored the existing possibilities here?

After a quick look through Scott's website it seems there are several different stock Penn eared CF washers currently available including those for the MAG, Baja, Squall, Fathom, Torque, Battle, and Conflict series of reels.  7+ different part numbers in total, by my quick count.

I'm not sure what the dimensions of any of these stock Penn washers are though.
