Title: penn jigmaster 506hs?
Post by: SDtone on February 13, 2009, 08:52:57 PM
Hi Alan,
just was wondering if the fiber washer that goes under the main gear part #6-113 will fit on my 506hs? I know you use them for the 500's or gear sleeves w/part # 98-60, 506hs gear sleeve # is 98-505. if it doesn't could you please let me know which ht fiber washer will fit?

Thanks,
Tony.

the fiber washer #4-60 has the same inside diameter as the #6-60, the #6-309, the #6-155 and the thicker #6-113.  i have been grinding down the #6-113's to about the same outside diameter as the #6-155's and substituting them for the #4-60 fiber washer.  i found a couple of reels that had too much "fuzz" around the ratchet gear of the gear sleeve.  the "fuzz" had gotten in the way of the dog and the anti-reverse did not work.  alan
