Title: Drag plate for Trini 40N / 40
Post by: gone2fish on May 08, 2023, 11:43:50 AM
Good day everyone

So.... I waited way too long.  I finally got around to upgrading my drag washers for my Trini 40 and 40N.  They have served us well.  But I want to upgrade the drag plates as well.  Sadly Cal is no longer making them for a while now.  Does anyone know where I can find them on the used market?

Thanks again.

Got part #s?

I'm kinda behind on outgoing shipments at the moment but I have a lot of parts for those reels.

I could be wrong but I think Shimano upgraded them and are now a stock part.

I'll check. But I thought they didn't have parts for the old Trinidads anymore?

I'll need to find schematics for that reel.  I kind of just work on it by memory when cleaning.  I don't know the part numbers off my head:)

Will search tonight.

That could be the case and one of the reasons I no longer buy Shimano reels.

no need for different metal drag washers  just stick with carbontex drags and cal's grease and you won't have to worry.
