Sears J.C Higgins Reel?

[redrydr77]

I came across a vintage JC Higgins and would like to rebuild it. Anyone know what is compatible? It looks similar to Penn LB 60 series or a 285 but not sure as Sears had these made by several reel makers over the years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

can you measure out the drag washers?

Sears marketed several Penn reels -- the 60, 285 and 149 among them. All of them were identical to Penn reels except for the etched wording on the side plates. It it looks like a Long Beach 60, it probably is and you need 006 060 (Squidder) drag washers.
