I'll have CF disks on hand for the next time I crack her open, but that dog/spring was such a pain to put back that I'll just stick to the leather until it goes.

Well , the Cal's on leather experiment was a flop, the drag got jerky when increased it to the needed level. I should have used oil as they did in the old days. I cleaned the leather disks and put them away. The reel now has greased HT100 and it's great.

I still think (properly oiled) the leather would have been good though. But since I had the HT100's ready to go, I didn't bother.

   My greased leather experiments mirror yours Nelz. I got "decent" results with Penn blue, but at the end of the day, greased Carbon fiber is hard to top. 8)

Love my new mini-Senator, but been wanting to do something about that old-school knob. Now a blue spool would be just the ticket!

Now I'm wonderin bout Mink oil. Seems to work so well on leather boots, shoes and my adult-guy baseball glove. Can't live with oxidation though, especially on my leather drag washers from old reels.

Looks like orange, I like it, good contrast with the blue knob.

I understand the 2/0 is the same size as the 85, 285, and LB 60.

Which of the less expensive reels are same size as the 110-1/0 or have interchangable parts? 

nelz

Actually the spool's orange. I guess some monitors make it look red. Red white and blue would've been pretty cool too though!

Swami805

The 501 is pretty close,some parts are the same, I believe the spool and frame parts, likely a few others
