Need parts for a classic ProGear 454 reel (found them)

[Jimmer]

I filed the pin instead of the post on mine, might be easier.

Just keep in mind that the pin/groove isn't the real problem.

kind of lost, whats the real problem then?

by chance do you have any pictures of the post of the shaft on a PG reel, maybe its easier to just install a Penn bridge I think I have one laying around on my box of used reel parts

[Maxed Out]

 A 113h bridge drops right into a 454. Also a 113h DD bridge drops right in. Every part of the internals are all 113h except the silky smooth pro gear 4/1 gear set. Stock 113h 3.25/1 gears also work in your 454

cool, thanks for the info Ted

Well, I just did a complete service on my 454 YTS & when buttoning it back up, the eccentric spring busted.

Does anyone know offhand of a direct replacement? Off a 113h?

Thnx, Keith

Im not in a rush to build this ProGear but I will have it in working condition in a chance

Believe it or not !! I coulndt wait more to get my hands on that nice reel   

....he did recalled there was a problem on this reel thats why he stopped to use it but didnt recalled what it was, so, seems that I will found out that later.

well, seem the reel had two problems, a broken Eccentric spring and it was missing a tension spring of the drag stack and the "legs" of the old-style eccentric jack were bent, good thing I could find all those parts on my small toolbox with short inventory of parts, installed a new eccentrick spring, a new tension spring and a new-style eccentric jack.
all the rest of the parts were the ones that came in the reel already, it was a smooth installation, damg, this reels feel pretty sturdy and really smooth to crack, no wonder our friend from Alaska Gary the buttman modified his ProGear reels with new SS parts and a upgraded Drag parts

Mine is up and running which is a plus right now considering I was losing all hope on finding the missing parts, for now it has all the factory stock parts so, it will be good for 20#-23# drag merely a 60# line reel, changed the stock handle wich has a short throw for a nice and comfy handle knob from out friend Ted.


With time, I will try to find the parts to upgrade it a bit, at least with SS sleeve, better drag as the 7+1 ultimate drag by B.Young and maybe Double dogged.


so, check the reel along my Baja Special, I though this ProGear was not as narrow as the Baja Special but seems equal or even a shy bit narrower so, is this a 454 model?
