Anybody know of any upgrades for the old Penn 100? Back in the day I used that reel for everything if I had enough line capacity for the fish I was targeting.  I would definitely like to upgrade my reels with stainless steel parts and possibly better drags.  I'd appreciate any information or advice.

The 100 is a tough little reel.

SS gearsleeve and AR dogs, Carbontex drag washers or Bryan's 5+1 drag upgrade, aluminum spool (if you can find one), handle arms, Newell spacer bars or aluminum frame.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

You just spent Pappy's SS Check for the month.

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Thanks for the info. Now let's see how many checks I need to save! Hahahaha!

Good info Keta, now I need to order the parts. Any recommendations?

If you might be interested in a Tiburon frame, Newell spool, or complete Newell kit, please let me know.

Thanks,

Randy,  definitely a Tiburon frame. I need all the SS parts Keta mentioned.

Alan Tani has the gear sleeve, I might have some 15-200 dogs still and will look.

Pappy, right now I have the Tiburon frames for your 100 in stock in silver and green.  Please take a look at the photos below and let me know if one of them might work for you.  If so, I can ship on Monday.  They are $65 including shipping to anywhere in the USA, and I accept Paypal or most credit cards.  If neither of those colors tickles your fancy, I can find out what other colors Tiburon has in stock.  The price would be the same but there would be a ten day delay in shipping as I am not going to pick up at Tiburon until 6/14.

I am sorry to say that I do not handle any of the trick internal parts (except for made in the USA Newell and Accurate gears for Jigmasters, 112H and 113H Senators), but you can find a great selection of quality components on this website.

Thank you for giving me a shot at your business,

Randy

Pappy

Randy,  I'll take the silver one. Let me know when or how to pay. I have PayPal.

Thanks, Pappy

Pappy

Randy,   what upgrade parts do you have for the 112H
