International 50 W 2 Speed

[The Great Maudu]

Greetings, I just purchased a 50 W 2 Speed on eBay. This reel is for a new shark rod I'm building. It is my understanding that a 50 W 2Speed is a conversion done by Cal Sheets shop sometime in the past. I believe they also blue printed, double dogged and drag mods. Any info you can share would be appreciated.

Check inside the side plate, there should be a label from cal's in there. Maybe give them a call on Monday and the could translate it for you
Haven't seen you around here in awhile, good to see you're around and kicking

if it is a conversion, then it will likely be a single drag system.  a double drag system is preferred. it depends on how much drag you will need.  you might also be able to change the belleville configuration from "()()" to the stiffer "(())" position.  that might help a little.  several unknowns here.
