Does anyone have Penn Part #230-105C Silent Dog.

Thought I had one -- but didn't...

Scott's and Southwestern shows no longer available.

One can be fashioned out of spring material fairly easily -- However, Here is what you need on eBay -- and it looks like $1.78 for two -- plus it will work as designed.

Good luck!

Best,

Thanks Fred for the reply. My local parts supplier and Scotts didn't have my first thought was unobtainium.

If you want a smoother reel, replace the bushings with bearings. It will make a world of difference but the bearings are expensive.

Hehe, looks like all you have to do to make one of these silent dogs is to bend a paper clip!

Thanks for comments.  I tried paperclip but all I had was the larger version and could get it right.  I am going to try smaller paperclip. That shape is actually more difficult to make than it looks.
