I bought one of these reels and it has a missing dog...ruff-ruff. Does anyone know what part # this thing takes?

   Hi Mo! I had to pick an oldie...hee hee! Everything inside looks "long beachish"...is that a real word? :P

OK...forget about the dog question...this photo shows I nipped that in the bud.;)  The pic also shows three red hard fiber washers(part # 4-60) being used as drag washers. Is this correct? This makes like 3 pre-war Penns I've found under gear washers used in the drag stack. Was it just something fishermen used to do...or was this a factory installation? ???

Some of the really old original washers were either leather, or fiberglass or asbestos

So factory, most likely.. looks like fiberglass type?

Dog does almost look like the 60?
What's the length on that?

That dog I used was one of your #15-99s reground to work as a #15-60. It fits this Bayhead reel just fine. 8)

We've ground some down like that before! Glad you were able to make something fit.

Do you think the dog should be shortened a little to get a better angle on the gear sleeve?

   I think camera angle is bad Rudy...it actually fits real good. I even held a spring up against it while turning the sleeve...angle looks fine.

Mo65 ,
    I believe the red washer went underneath the main gear.  They used leather washers in the drag system . Many times when you take these old drag systems apart you will find them all gummed together and the leather washers can split or break up when trying to separate them . Looks like someone used an alternative.

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

  Yes, those are red under gear washers...and like new...I'll put those right into my stock. I replaced them with some old leather washers...perfect power and smoothness fer the shelf. :D

  I used #6-60s Mike, and they fit perfect, so I reckon that's a #5-60 gear. Thanks very much for the offer though! 8)

Penn Chronology

Penn Low End Reels Rule Of Thumb::

1----A Bay Head is a Low priced Bridge City

2---A Bridge City is an early version of the Penn 85 Sea Boy.

Parts between those three reels should be interchangeable.
