Title: Using Bryan 5-60 5+1 drag kit for penn 650ss
Post by: Marcq on June 01, 2015, 09:55:15 PM
You can tell that the 5-60 is slightly larger 20.36mm vs 18.64mm

I made this jig out of gear sleeve so I could mount the original 650ss washer with the 5-60

Was able to do two at a time, put a nut on and up on the drill press it went
Forgot to ask Bryan to send me an extra washer but didn't need to, I use one of the original  to go on top and it fitted perfect

Haven't had the chance to test the drag yet(no line on spool) but would be surprise not to reach 20lb easy
