112H HOTROD

[saltydog]

This is my new hotrodded Penn 112H with ss gears(4 to 1),ss gear sleeve,ss yoke,double dogs,and accurate frame.


This is what I began with.


The teardown


Dremel out the sideplate for double dogs that will engage together


File and fit the dogs,the lower one is the same as above but filed to fit.



Reassemble the sideplate,with carbon fiber drag washers in place of the fiber ones.


Grease the frame screwholes


Attach left side plate


Put the spool in place



Attach right side plate



Finished reel

Now all I need is a new handle arm and a 6/0 handle grip,and ss dogs to be finished with it.The freespool clocked at 1 minute and 40 seconds,not bad for the old girl and the drag went from 8# to 15# steady with no sign of twist or damaging effects but we will see when I put some fish on it.

nice!  save the bars.  they will come in handy if you ever find an old beat up senator someday!

Hit the post button to early so had to go get the rest to add.

Great work SD - and a nice approach to the second dog.
Pure synchronicity that it should be your 112th post
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Justin

Very nice.  A junior "tank".  I like the little hook on the end of the dog spring.  Tanks for the idea.

Nice dremel work Saltydog . Did you make that spring?
Congrats on your sticky, nice job.

Tanks for the complements,and yes I did make the spring,the little crook in the end helps keep it from getting lost when the reel gets bounced around on a boat ride..It took a little time with the diamond file on the dog but it was worth it.

NICE!  


The second dog should be longer and the end filed to match up better with the gear sleeve.  Sometime in the near future I'll have some SS dogs cut for 112H and 500 reels, when I do I'll have longer ones cut for double dogging and I'll use your idea on the shape of the second dog, thank you.

Hello Salty

                Just a thought, maybe turn that new dog over ( scratch his belly, my dogs like that ) it might have a little better angle on the gear. But maybe you already tried that.
                  Very nice work.

The angle on the dog in the picture is a little off because the shaft wasn't straight when I took the photo,they both engage at the same time and at the right angle.You know trying to take a photo and hold the objective in frame.Just doesn't look that way.

[Keta]

Ok, let me know if the angles on the dogs need to be changed.

[Bruce]

   I see said the blind man.

[saltydog]

It is the same angle but it is a hair shorter than the main dog,I would just make it full length and suggest file fitting it to match the reel your working on.

SD---Great work...and you would have to do it to my favorite Penn Size---112....keep up the good work.

Just got done double dogging a 113H

and a 114H

used the alternating dogs on this reel to clean up some handle slop
Now just to get the ss gear sleeves and frames.
