I just sold my last one about 2 weeks ago, but I have another run in the works. I expect to have them available sometime next month.
Missed them. No problem
look forward to the new batch
Thanks
I would like to purchase a set for the 113H. Please let me know when available.
Thank you.

Recently I received a 113h drag insert kit from Adam. Upon inspection I was very pleased to see the high quality of this product. This is no doubt the best in its class in my opinion. :) Ive yet to test it butt everything fits fine.....I hope others who have questions or doubts stay tuned as the proof is in the pudding. Below are a couple of photos . Tanks Adam.... :-*

Many Thanks Adam, and all the Pioneers of Drag Improvement..........Now you can get a drop in kit at a good price.
I'd like to buy a drag kit for my 349H when you have them back in stock.
I would like one 113H drag kit. Sal says they are the best.
I'm a newbie to this... which main gear will work with the kit? I understand some need the two "key cuts" on the sides to be extended down to the bottom.

My insert kits work with any of the standard main gears, either Penn original or aftermarket stainless. They do not require the key cuts to go to the bottom of the gear though, I notch the bottom of the ears on the insert to accommodate.
Here is more info on the various insert drag kits I offer. (http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=11661.msg241685#msg241685)
I have a few 349H kits just about ready to go. Just need the cf washers, which will be ready on Friday.
Joe I should have some 113H kits if he is out.

Thanks. I try to build parts I would be proud to have on my own reels.
Adam i sent you a Daiwa 910 gear set many moons ago so you could work up a system for them. Did this ever happen?

Sure did. I made a few, and got practically no interest. I still have a couple of sets if you want any. I have them got the 600h/610 as well.
Do you have any Penn 118 insert kits.

Adam when you get time I would like one of the insert kits for the gear set I sent you. I do need the gear set and whatever else I sent you so I can put that reel back together.
No hurry.
Keith
Ill get the gear, sleeve, and a drag kit in the mail to you asap. I didnt realize you needed it back.
Mike, I do have 118 insert kits in stock. Send me a PM with your email address and how many you want(or any other parts) and Ill send you an invoice.
I'd like to get an insert for my 113 and for a 500 if you have them.
Thanks,
Mike
I need more 114H kits also. I thi had some but they are gone.
I'll need 6 please.
Plus 2 for the Daiwa 900.

I need to cut some more 114H/115 inserts, but Ill make sure yours are at the top of the list, along with the daiwa 900 ones.
You get my payment for the 113parts?
Hello Adam, a little while back I asked for a couple of sets of washers for the Dam reel and asked to let me know when they were ready. If you've made some please send them, if you've forgotten about it and need to make more, not a problem...I do not mind being at the bottom of that list, as long as I'm on it :).
Sal
Hi Adam.... farmer 56 here..... i would like one set of 114h inserts also.... and two set of 113h inserts......P M me when ready..... thank you farmer out , oh and by the way i would want two sets of 112h insert if ever its made
I will have a few more 114H insert kits available next week. The 113H and 112H kits will be ~ 3 weeks out.
The Dam quick washers are cut, but I havent had a chance to put together the kits yet. That's on my agenda for next week. I have 25 sets cut, so it should be enough for everyone.
Greets, I have fitted the 113H set to a high speed SS gear set "Pro Challenger".
I needed electricians tape to prevent the SS insert lifting in use and allowing the bottom carbon to pop out the end of the insert.
Also, no heat path from the insert to the ring of the gear.
The featured pic, clearly shews the gap.
Easy to fit and after Cal's grease will pull an easy working 25lbs. Locked down with my big Aftco star I reckon it will go well over 30lbs.
Quite enough for my rod reel pairing.
The 114H kit is a different matter.
A brass insert that I have driven into my 114H high speed "Pro Challenger set" using a soft blow lead shot filled mallet.
A delicious interference fit and with a proper heat transfer path.
The insert is decidedly thinner so coupled with the fit, a significantly higher proportion of the gear cavity is available for friction materials.
My older pattern 114H has external clutch servicing access. The stack drops straight in.
These older reels, could hold a taller insert as well, to take another pair. I believe later models do not have such a luxury.
Pulls an easy 50lbs. (Stack greased again.) Another massive Aftco star. More than my Cousins Classic bottom fishing blank needs.
I am absolutely ecstatic.
I am eagerly awaiting kits for the 970 / 980 of which I use several.
I believe the metal friction washers are Ti. Could this be part of the secret?
Rgds.

All of the thin metal washers are titanium, while the thick one for the top of the stack is stainless steel.
As for heat transfer, the very little goes through the sides of the gears. It is primarily through the bottom and top of the drag stack. There just isnt enough surface area on the sides to have any meaningful effect, whether it is stock drags or my insert kit.
Glad youre enjoying it, Im looking forward to seeing you pulling some fish with it.
I like the aluminum 16/0 118 insert. These drags get very hot if you are fighting a big shark. The aluminum will help with the heat transfer.
Mike
Hi Adam, Hoyt here....I am need of a 114 insert and full plate kit, please. If you have a SS gear sleeve, I need one of those as well. I could really use a couple larger drag stars to crank down on your drag inserts. The little stock 114 stars are very small when you're talking 40-50-60# drag numbers. I know the threads are a pain but....Help! Seriously!
Are the 113H insert kits available?
I'm interested in buying another.
Thanks
Hi Adam,
I would like to order a 114H insert kit instead of the 113H as previously posted.
Thank you
Ill have to check my stock. Im out of drag washers for the 113H for sure, and Ill have to see what I have left of the larger sizes.
Thank you
I appreciate it.
I sent a PM for my PayPal email

Adam, do you have any 114h & 113H insert kits left?
Thanks Peter
I could use one too when there ready and a few drag stars too,Thanks
I'm in for 4ea of the 113h when back in stock.

Hello Adam. I have one of your insert kits in a Daiwa 600 that I am very pleased with. Do you have any 900h kits? Thank you.

Im trying to get some more 900H kits together, but Im out at the moment.
Thank you for the quick reply. I have a trip starting June 9---do you anticipate having a kit available prior to this trip? Thanks again.

Awesome. Let me know total shipped to 36877 and how to pay. I have no concerns with paying in advance.
Thank you.

Any 10/0 and 12/0 kits?
Im working on it, but I cant guarantee anything in the next week.
I do have a new source for the drag material lined up, and it is a high quality, made in the USA material from a company that supplies many OEM's. I will be working on getting all of my insert kits in stock in the coming couple of weeks.
Thanks for the update!
Hi Adam. I hope all is well. Do you still anticipate having a 900h kit available next week? Thank you in advance.
Would this kit fit the Penn 114 black ?
Thanks, Marc..

No, the black 114 is a different reel from the red 114H. I may be able to offer it down the road, but first I need to refill my stock of all the other sizes.
I'll take 2 insert kits for 113h 4/0. Thanks
Still working on drag material. Pretty much everything with my drag kits is on hold until I get to test out the material from a new supplier. Once I proof the material, I will have all sizes back in stock, and a few new fitments as well.
I havent been entirely happy with the quality of the cf drag material I had been using, but I have high hopes for the material from a new vendor. A big selling point was that they supply the drag material for a number of OEM's.
That's good news Adam! Looking forward to using these!
I just wanted to make something clear on these kits. Ive been getting a lot of requests, and hearing a little through the grapevine about these kits. Here is my current status:
Im running off the last remnants of old stock on all of my insert drag kits. If I dont have it in stock now(which is barely any of the kits), I wont have any available until I get new cf washers made from the material Im working on sourcing. Im expecting a sample pack in the next week, and will proceed with a full order after I receive and test the samples. And then I will get the drag washers cut so I can have all of the sizes of insert drag kits back in stock, along with some new kits.
I know its been a long time, but this will be worth it. I appreciate your patience.
i could use two kits for 115l
Bill
Would love a kit for a Penn 16/0 118
Do you have any 114h kits.
Mike
Just got back in town today. Ill start having some of the drag kits available next week. Still have a few pieces to cut, but I expect to have a handful of 113H and 114H/115 kits available next week. The rest will be coming as soon as I get more of the drag material.
I have a 116L 12/0 and would like to get an insert kit for it. Do you have any available?
Sorry to have taken so long.
See if you can find an AFTCO star.
Part of a two part handle and star drag pre-set system, sold definitely in 113H and 114H sizes.
I use the full system on my 113Hs but just the star and a Reel Colors articulating T handle on the 114H.
Star has six, repeat six arms and is 80mm (3 1/4") across. Really the business.
Tiburon Narrow conversion, Beastmaster ringed rod clamp, Alan's high ratio SS innards and a truly brilliant Motive Fabrication stack.
Wish there was a SS version of this star, readily available. No style, just honest grunt and controlability.
Wish the Reel Colors handle had ball races. A minor beef.
If you haven't tried hollow spliceable braid, now is the time.
"Toro Tamer" goes down to 20lbs nominal.
Very best Rgds.
Malcolm Hayward.
I would like a daiwa 900 and a 600 kit when they are available please. Thank you
Now that is impressive :o :o :o
This is the same design used in Shimano Stellas utilizing both sides of the drag washer to achieve maximum potential.
Congratulations on engineering such a superb modification.
Adam
How are the inserts for Jig masters looking?? any time frame??
joel8080
How can I get a 9/0 drag kit
Hi Adam,
I am still in the market for a couple drag kits for 114H / 115L when they come available.
Regards,
Charlie
Looking for a 113h kit if they are still available .
I'd like to get a 116a model when they're available
ditto on a 113h
Adam it's very difficult getting to your web site. No direct connection. It seems the only way to contact you is by e mail or pm & that's snail mail. Rudy
It may be time to take the hint.
-steve
So much is going on right now. I'm sure he will be back eventually. :-\
Hope so, I could use some more titanium parts
Any update on the website or how to order? I know my self and several others in my fishing group are ready to order some inserts...

Its coming. Ive had a lot going on, but Im trying to get back to maintaining stock of the drag kits. As for stars and handles, its looking likely Ill just be selling off what stock I still have. I may make some specific exceptions if the demand is there, but trying to keep up with a full catalog of parts at the moment is just not feasible.

Any chance you had some down time to make more insert kits? I could real use a couple of 113h, 112h and jigmansers
Hi I would like to purchase a complete set-up for a 113H 4/0. If possible I would like to also purchase a set of just the carbon fiber washers for the same 113H 4/0 reel.
Thank you,
Fred
He wasn't been on here selling parts for quite a while. Check out pro challenger, black pearl in the for sale section on here, his gear set is very nice,same principal, other parts for your 113h too
Not intended to hijack. Special this, special that is the reason why I designed my drag kits with parts that are easily obtainable, such as HT-100s or Carbontex washers. The only thing special, is I use thinner, hardened stainless steel metal drag washers so you can increase the number of friction washers in the drag stack for higher drag numbers.

Yup. Bryan's drag kits perform equally well, easy to find replacements and a great value

Any insert kits for a 349 available????
Thanks

Adam, any 600h inserts left?
Eugene
We haven't heard from Adam in almost 2 years. Most likely to busy with his real job. Rudy
I know how it is. I've been really busy with my day job that I haven't kept in tough much here. Been trying to though.
all of us have been really busy the last several weeks. :-\
I too have been doing more work but most has been frustrating and non productive due to where the machinery came from and no help from the company that sold us the expensive POS.
