Hello,
I am a newbie I have been lurking looking at posts of various rebuilds but I have to ask if you have a Penn 9\0 tutorial that is online.
I bought Cal's grease, new ht100 washers from Scots and just about to dive in but need someone to hold my hand. I have rebuild other Penn's but not trolling reels. I also would like info on how to add an addtional #6 washer to main gear for extra pressure. Alan I am interested in handle upgrade also. Thanks for any info.
i just finished a 9/0 senator. they are very straight forward. you'll need a #6-114 drag washer to go underneath the main gear. you will hopefully already have 5 of the ht-100's inside the main gear. just clean them up and coat them with cal's grease. send me a pm and i can ship these out to you if you wish, or go to mysticparts.com. thanks! alan
I bought the kit from Scot's bait and tackle to rebuild it is the HT -100 kit for 6-114HSP it had 9 washers in it. I notice that the size of the stack in smaller. I also have the felt washer and sealer 140 & 136 with models with accessible drag. There seems to be lot of extra space in between the star mechanism and handle is that normal? or do I need more washers?
the large gap between the star and handle is normal for these reels. you just have to make sure the star does not bottom out.
