Greetings, I've been seeing progear wahoo specials popping up here and there and saw a box on line saying it has 5 bearings. I thought it would be similar to a 454 progear but with a clicker but from the looks of the box I saw it looks quite a bit different.  How much different is it than the old style progears with penn innards? Thanks Sheridan 
Do what you can with that you have where you are

The Progear Wahoo special has double dogs, a 5 to 1 gear ratio and massive drag washers. It's very different than the 454.   Brian did an excellent tutorial of the Wahoo Special a few years ago.  I'll send you some photos.

Thanks, I went thru the progear section and saw Bryan's tutorial but the pictures got photobucketed (new word?).

Or Photobucked to walk the line.
I woke today and suddenly nothing happened.

I have to find the photos and update the posting.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

I found some external pictures. I should have the internals somewhere.
