Surfmaster 150

[Shark Hunter]

Recently scored me a 150 Surfmaster for 20 bucks. The spool is broken and the ring that goes on the pinion has come loose. Do I need a new pinion or can I roll like this without the ring? The spool has 29 155 on the side. Is this even the right spool? A 155 Baymaster is wider than this. This tiny little spring fell out too. I don't think it belongs. The spool shaft seemed like it was dragging a bit in the handle side, which is why I'm asking if this spool is correct.
Its a little rougher than my 200's, but at that price and as hard as these reels are to get, I think I did good. It should clean up nice.

Can't wait to see the finished pictures Daron.

I'm working on the Surfmaster line up Bob. I really like these little reels and they will be perfect for Kayaking and catching bait. 100, 150, 200 and 250.

[BMITCH]

Yeah, they are nice little reels. I had the 100 and 150 but sold them a couple years ago. Already did all the upgrades just didn't use them anymore. Now I wish I hadn't. In those sizes I went with Newell's. Good luck and I'll keep a watch out for those for ya.

The 29-155 spool fits the 150.

The spring is not out of a 150 and early reels did not have a hobed gear, the ring.

I'm looking forward to the pictures of the complete tear downs and mods.  What are your plans?  Making any custom drags for it?   Got a steel gear?  Tib frame or newell conversation?  I'll be watching and learning...

[Shark Hunter]

Already has the steel gear Ono. I'll probably just do a 5 stack with Bryan's washers and the .50 sheet from Wallace. After I took the spool out and the ring from the pinion fell out. I'm wondering if someone put that in there? You notice the spool looks like it was dropped, but not when it was in the reel.

Been there done that too many times.  I hate when I drop a spool, total ruins it!

I think everyone has a plastic spool or two with a chip in them.

Remember that decent old 10/0 I said I found last week in a box?
Well it had a near perfect 1 piece chrome spool... with some line left on it, so I had my girlfriend help me unspool it 

she got a little too playful and took off running... imitating a fish... the spool went flying outta my hands and crashed down hard on the tile floor....

Like I said.... HAD a near perfect spool   

I did a pretty good job of keeping my cool though

I had a near new plastic Green Penn 26 monofil spool that I put on a shelf while taking apart the reel, yup, rolled off the shelf and is now in several pieces.  I was home alone so my wife did not hear me, but I think the neighbors did.
