I remember Ken D. saying Abu no longer had the 3.8:1 gear set.  I've been watching ebay for one for awhile, no luck.

Yuppers, the 3.8-1 ratio in RH drive is toast, for the gearset featuring the 3-drag array inside it.
However, there is a slim possibility that the ~earlier~ winch gearset in uc _transition_ with the older 2 drag gear (one in, one underneath), and the ultracast spool, _might still be out there_.

It would take some rummaging through the drawings to arrive at this unit, (I can't remember what year, or what 5 it was in) and then Pure Fishing might also have run out of them.  I check the eeb, eh? quite often, and rarely see used one come up.

Got it.  http://www.abugarcia.com/sites/default/files/schematics/5000WINCH%2089-0.PDF

Note: if you are converting a present day 4-5-6 reel to the winch, (if P/fshg has them 1-800-abugarcia)  You will need to order in the correct older reel size axle, and the gearset, unless you happen to have an older hybrid reel in the drawer. You might have to fool around with sideplates, shims, driveshafts as well.
Unless, again, you happen to have an older hybrid reel in the drawer.

Isn't it funny how we are never happy? We do whatever we can to slow down fast reels and speed up slow reels. I do not atribute this to marketing goofs, I think it is just human nature to tinker.

Yup... A bass angler wants the quickest retrieve possible to get the next cast out, and the musky angler wants the 'torquiest' reel, for Mr. Big's scrap. The bass folks won the consumer war, otherwise the slow ratio would still be out there.

That makes us sound like a bunch of women.  But it's true !

Manufactures have to sell to the masses and build their reels for the latest fad. The latest fad often does not work in all/most cases, high speed and more ball bearings than needed are good examples.

And its only getting worse. Have you seen he new St. Croix Inshore rods? White foam grips with white skin, white reel seats, white blanks with white wrappings!

[Ron Jones]

Why would I want to try to keep white grips clean?
