Double doged 130 Sailfisher

Mattman NZ · February 18, 2015, 03:04:07 AM

Hi everyone - I picked up two 130 Sail fisher's late last year and was going to restore both but ran into a problem with one of the spools - It was badly corroded and pitted around the bearing area so I decided to double dog one bridge and leave the other original .The dog was made from a broken 3-200 Squidder bridge - cut out and shaped with a dermal and a file - spring out of a bic lighter and the dog pin was made from an old drill bit .When I flick spin the handle she sounds like an old triumph.

I made the dog the same shape as the original .

Main gear and drags in place .

Everything fits a seems to go in and out of gear and I think ill jewel the bridge later ??.

All done...

Enjoy
Matt...

Nice work on the 130. George turned me on to the 130 model and it is a great reel to fish with. I have a spool if you need one but I am not sure of the condition as I have not seen it in awhile.

I like it! That looks like a super clean Sailfisher, too.

Wow, amazing work.

Those Sailfishers are really a great reel -- fairly rare -- and not many people know much about them.

Great job!

Best,

Fred

Wow! that looks better than the original.
Matt, you do some serious work, you must be a machinist.
The talent we are here is unreal.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Totally Awesome Matt! That is some of the best work I have ever seen here.

This guy made a dog out of an old squidder bridge! Damn!
I like that Minion Sal.

Thanks Sal - I wish I was but i'm a logger at heart and only got into collecting penns in the last year - Gee I remember back in the 80s I pulled my 2nd Penn a 155 apart for a quick clean and lube etc - it took me three goddamn days to get that dam dog and spring back in.lol and now do it in the blink of an eye .

Beautiful work on the 130! Nice Stihl as well, my younger brother is an Arborist and loves those things.
