I narrowed a Gray 25 Monofil with Ted's seat and added a 24-56 handle. That brought up an issue.
Is there a larger star that will fit? The star pretty much disappears behind the larger handle stem.....
I could be wrong, but I think the 66 star will work and is larger.
Thanks Chad, I'll have to check that.
The 66 is only a hair bigger Randy
You want a 49 star. It's the biggest Penn made for that gear sleeve and will work good with that wide blade

Randy, I've got one if you want it. PM me.
A reel that small will take advantage of precise drag settings. If funds allow, a fine thread gear sleeve and a 505 star (same ize as the 49) would gild the lily.

Randy, you may need to take a few thou off spacer- I went up to a 66 on a Squidder and had to, depending on which spacer is in there. I think there were about five different lengths made.

That's true John...the 66 star is a bit thicker than the 60. I saw it mentioned earlier that the 49 star was larger than the 66. They are in fact the same diameter, but once again, the 66 star is thicker. 8)
