This is a reel my dad gave to me that he modded many years ago to increase the available drag. This uses the old drag cover from a 113H and adds a brass sleeve so it fits on the gear sleeve of the penn 49. You also need to drill or dremel out the side-plate to accommodate it.

Aaron: Pretty cool. Your Dad was a little ahead of the curve on increasing reel drags. Tell me did he grease drags in those days? Dominick
So that's where you get it from, that explains it.
Yep Sal, that pretty much explains it. ;D
Very cool. Custom work masters from the past.
