Does anyone have Penn Part #230-105C Silent Dog.
Thought I had one -- but didn't...
Scott's and Southwestern shows no longer available.
One can be fashioned out of spring material fairly easily -- However, Here is what you need on eBay -- and it looks like $1.78 for two -- plus it will work as designed.

Good luck!

Thanks Fred for the reply. My local parts supplier and Scotts didn't have my first thought was unobtainium.
If you want a smoother reel, replace the bushings with bearings. It will make a world of difference but the bearings are expensive.
Hehe, looks like all you have to do to make one of these silent dogs is to bend a paper clip! :)

Thanks for comments. I tried paperclip but all I had was the larger version and could get it right. I am going to try smaller paperclip. That shape is actually more difficult to make than it looks.
Thanks Fred for the link ordered it and should have it by 4 April
