Title: Penn 180 Star upgrade?
Post by: TongassFisher on August 04, 2018, 06:23:47 PM
Is there a larger drag star from another reel that will work on a stock 180. The 180 star is awful small.


Thanks


Trevor

   Heck yeah Trevor. You're right...that tiny 180 star drives me nuts. There are several you can use. The #10-60 is larger and a drop in upgrade. Many Penns use it...you probably have a few laying around. Even larger are the #10-66 and the #10-49, but they are a hare thicker, so you'll need to shave your spacer a bit. 8)
