Chris the sleeve that I put on the bridge I sent you is a 10 tooth that I modified by machining the sides like Alans sleeves. The sleeve is hard it was difficult to mill with a Hss mill cutter. It should give you less backlash than Alans 8 tooth sleeve. I had to press in the pin so it will be impossible to remove without drilling. I greased it and it should be good for a long time. The sleeve will fit all drag washer kits out there.

My 349s are Pacific halibut reels and I spool them with either 50# or 60#  (JB calls their 60 pound solid 65 pound to cut down confusion with 60# hollow) and I usualy use JB solid. 
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Well I think I am going to stick with the JB hollow braid. I have everthing to splice it. The needles are not cheap so I need to make use of all the hardware i bought.

Yup.Got an email from USPS informing me. Only trouble is I'm now trying to track it in the UK - without much luck. Patience is a virtue -apparently ;D

mikeysm

Chris how is the new bridge and gear set working out for you. I see it arrived by the
tracking number.

Mike

The USPS tracking just indicates it's arrived with the local carrier - Royal Mail. It arrived at the local PO depot - looks like I've been hit with customs tax :( I'm waiting to be notified what the payment is - what did you put on the shipping label?

mikeysm

I put a value and it was a gift. They needed both before they would ship it.

I hear that a lot from my US cousins. Some manage to ship stuff without any customs declaration. When I ship something I never make a declaration :-\

My first time shipping to the UK. They tax everthing. Just like here in california. Only thing left to tax is the air we breath.
