I jumped the gun and double dogged my 12/0. Second opinion needed.

[TheReelShop]

I double dogged my 12/0. This is the first time I perform this. I installed the spring I believe a bit differently. The spring is half secured by the bridge plate and in my opinion it does seem like there wont be an issue. Wanted second opinions.

Thanks in advance

Looks like you removed too much material on the top. Shouldn't matter.
You need to get it all together to make sure it functions well.
I don't see any reason it wouldn't.
Its all about the spring tension. Your dog engagement looks fine.
If it sounds like a machine gun. You got it right.

I tested it like that and it sounds good no issues. So your thoughts are reassuring. I didn't like I went too much over the top. I used a dremel what tip do you use?

Sal turned me on to these.
It is worth the money. Trust me.
The dremel brand cutters dull. This will be the last set you buy for plate cutting.

Daron, the bits I purchased 5 years ago are still cutting...well worth the money.

TheReelShop, you did a neat job on the grinding, you went a little heavy towards the center of the plate, but it shouldn't be an issue.
Try not to grind in the house, you don't want to inhale that dust. If I do one, I take my dremel outdoors and still wear a dust mask.

I have another one to do this time I'll wait for the Dremel tips to get here. I did it outside and quickly realized a mask is a must! I just took the pics inside.. 👍🏻

Thanks to Lee for the dogs. I had to slightly modify hem but they are perfect!


This was before modifying (the one that's fit right was trimmed prior to picture)




And finally fitted!

Remember the bridge plate's gotta be supported in part by the bakelite sideplate after you tighten down the bridge screws. Your material removal seems from the picture, not to be excessive at all, though.

The one on the left is not seating deep enough in the ratchet tooth. Grind a little off the bottom of it to make it seat deeper & a little off the tip to put them in sync.          Rudy

Thanks for that notice.



Both dogs are of different sizes. That's normal right?

[Shark Hunter]

They will be after you modify them for simultaneous engagement.
This was the last reel I did for a client.

They started out the same size.
