Hi,
I've been watching this website and have decided to tear down some of my reels. I've got my Okuma convectors done and am now looking at a set of 10 of my dads old shimano tr200g. I know they aren't very expensive reels to begin with but I've used them the past few years for salmon on lake michigan and they work fine. I'd love to change out the drags to carbon fiber. I don't see any tutorials here for these reels. The closest I can find are the shimano speedmasters. They look similar. Has anyone ever torn one of these down, or have the diagrams for them?
Thanks

Should be similar to any of the star drag reels. If you take one apart, you will see that, and like other reels, measure the drags and compare them to the HT-100 or Carbontex drag sizing charts.

The HT-100 (carbon fiber) drag washers for a Penn 965 International fit the Shimano TR200. I see lots of TR200s in the shop -- they are very popular among charter operators for salmon up here -- and change them all to HT-100s. You can get the drag washers at pennparts.com. Expect to pay almost $4.00 for the set.

The clutch was not working on my reel. I removed the right side plate. Inside I found a wire, looped kind of like a spring, lying to the side of the yoke plate.
In the reel repair supplement parts list I cannot find what this part is or where it goes. Might have something to do with the clutch lever.
I know I am not very clear but any help would be appreciated.

hi alan. suggest putting a counter balance on arm. pete's knob weighs almost as much as the tr100 reel. how much for arm? they are the simplest reels in the world to work on. peter is making me a longer stainless steel arm for these. i should have them within the month.

the arm itself is probably going to be $13-14. it will be made of a thinner metal than the tld 15 arm, but the outside dimensions will otherwise be the same. i will also have this one electro-polished, because it will also fit on the calcuttas.

I beg to differ !!!!! I have spent over 2 hours attempting to replace the casting lever and the eccentric clutch spring. A Penn, or an Abu, I spent what, maybe 5-10 minutes figuring it out? and after joining AT's site here, and seeing images, no time at all to figure out some of the Penns !!! Unfortunate for me, I have never ever seen one of these tihngs before, and I got it in 3 baggies. YES....all ELSE was really Ok to rre-assemble, but not that @#@$#$^%^dam clutch spring !!!! Hopefully Alan, you have one on the bench and an take pic of how it's supposed to be? Thanks, Ken. |

The eccentric on that reel is made of plastic. Has it deformed? That does happen and will make replacing the spring impossible -- especially if the spring is bent out of shape as well.

Hi... I have not seen a regular eccentric, or a deformed one, or a good spring versus a bad one...I'm beginning to thlnk this is a case. Or I am simply a klutz....  Not knowing shite from shinola..  |

Got it. I have left the benovelant order of CLOD.... co-operative league of dimwits.. ..and got it OK. I was looking at it backwards, being left handed. Bantam 1, a factory rep that posts on several reel forums, set me straight.
He advised to assemble the eccentric and the lever first, then sneak the bent end of the spring into the little hole, then work the assy to get the straight end near its notch. Loop of the spring up.
Took all of 15 seconds this way.
