Electrimate Gear Sleeves

SNAPPERHEAD · January 27, 2013, 09:12:04 PM

I just took a look on the Electrimate website and it tallied the total cost for one Gear sleeve as $158. This does not sound right. Why would one be that expensive?

not sure. i have 4/0's and 6/0's and they are nowhere near that price.

Alan are you Gear Sleeves back on Penn Parts?

should be. i am out of 4/0's, so you will have to go to mysticparts.com. more 4/0 gear sleeves will be here in a month. for the 6/0's, the retaining pin hole was cut too high, so mysticparts send them back. since then, i have shaved down the retaining pin and it works, but i am not that happy with it. it is not something the mysticparts should carry, since it had to be mcgivered together. i will send them the next round with the pin hole properly cut.

Okay. Sounds good. I was looking for a 6/0 gear sleeve. Did you check Electirimates website? Still curious about the high price....

Yeah. Can't beleive it comes down to that, but thankfully for you it does. I thought I could get a spare sleeve before buying yours on Penn Parts later, but I think I will wait till they come. Those are great sleeves Alan! Worth every penny.

So they went from 55.00 to 80.00 man they are getting a little crocked on there bottle of gin.

alantani · January 28, 2013, 06:38:07 AM

maybe they figure that, if the gun market can get away with that, so can they.

saltydog · February 01, 2013, 06:21:57 PM

Yup guns have gone through the roof.And ammo has too.

Ben, what do you need? I purchased a few SS gear sleeves for the 4/0 and 6/0 from Alan for my reels that I never used. Same cost as Alan's plus shipping. PM me with what you need.
