6/0 black face

[rtr091112]

I just bought a 6/0 for my son who is stationed on Guam. I am in the process of cleaning it up and I want to change the drag washers.
My question is if I order the HT100's complete kit will I have to make any modifications with a Dremel tool I have read about, or can I put less washers in it ?

It probably has a three stack in it, unless it has been upgraded. The 5 stack upgrade doesn't require any modifications.

It should be a direct drop in no modifications needed.....remember to grease the drags with a drag grease like Cal's or Shimano....Bill

It should fit right in. I recently serviced a reel that required 4 additional HT-100 washers because the 5-stack was lower in height compared to the 3-stack.  My suggestion is to buy 2  drag kits and that way you will have additional washers to play with the drag height.

Brian, I had the same issue with one I worked on, but the original 3 stack had a keyed metal washer much thicker than the other metal washers. I just used it to replace the first keyed metal washer in the five stack. The groove for the eared washers in the main gear was also not long enough for the new 5 stack to drop low enough and the thicker metal washer fixed that too.

I wasn't that lucky.  All of my keyed metal washers were the same thickness, so even the 3 stack sat too low for me as well.
