Penn Senator 116L (12/0)

[Irish Jigger]

 

Does anyone have some spare parts around, I want to build a 16/0?     Dominick

I have some spare screws 110-60 if that is any help

i've got some big rings but i don't know which reel they go to.

[Alto Mare]

What color handle would you like on that reel? Looks like we have everything covered but the spool and stand .
There might be someone here that could probably help us with the stand

It really depends on the type of guides you are using.  I normally use ceramics with roller tip top and first guide.  For small game, it's all ceramics.  Braid doesn't groove ceramics (as long as I've used it).  Roller guides are not ceramic, but hardened SS.  If they don't roll, they'll eventually groove, like other non-ceramic materials.

I have a question that's always been bothering me.....when fishing braid or other assorted line that's somewhat abrasive...I mean not smooth like mono...how long will the rod guides last before you groove them and start cutting line?  Seems like if you have 40+ lbs of drag going out at lightspeed something is gonna get abraded and eventually cut...... Would this be a worry on roller guides as well as regular guides?

I said Ken Anderson rig, I meant Joe Anderson.
as far as getting dragged in, I can always cut the line if I can't handle it. I do plan on being tethered to an unmovable object. The Harness uses you lower body to muscle the fish, If I'm in a chair, I can't do this. Anything fun is Dangerous. No Guts,No Glory!

The main problem is you need heavier cable. For bigguns 3/32 min. Also cable can be cut by a shark. I have no prolem being harnessed up to a big fish, but the lines gettin cut or the drag loosened if i start gettin dragged to much

[Dominick]

I was only kidding, but if it can go together I will build it, offer it for sale and donate the money to Alan's favorite charity.  After I use it once of course.     Dominick

[Irish Jigger]

Seriously though,I may be able to help with the stand but not the spool which I understand is as scarce as hen's teeth.

i can get them new for you dom.cheers

Sou can get new 16/0 spools?  How much?

[BMITCH]

Ok...I have a lot of stupid questions.. Why lube the Bakelite/plastic parts. Is this to collect salt deposits?

[Alto Mare]

No, to keep it out. Try for yourself, have one reel with a light coat on the plates and one without. See which will need a new clicker toungue and clicker spring sooner.

[BMITCH]

I get it now. To fill in the spaces between parts?

I rebuilt my 14/0 last night. It has a chrome bridge. Is this an upgrade? or did they come like this? Also,under the sleeve, I used a 12/0 drag washer instead of a big one. It is the same diameter as the original thin washer.
Can you guys tell me how to post pics? I can't figure it out.

My 14/0 also has the chrome plated bridge.  It's not an upgrade as far as I can tell.
My recollection is that the washer between the sleeve and main gear was slightly larger on the 14/0.  Doesn't make too much difference since you'd want to change that to a CF disk anyway, in which case, just use the same diameter as the brakes.
