Just picked up a penn 505hs. I love it. The free spool is amazing and the drags are strong. What I want to know is what can I do to make this thing a tank. Such as ss gears and such. A power handle and I've heard that someone makes a solid frame and side plates but im not able to find them. Just trying to find out what I can do to make this thing a tank of a reel. Thanks a lot guy's.
Most of the upgrade for the 500 will be the same for the 505 i.e. SS yoke, jack, dogs, sleeve and bryans 5+1 drag stack
Also, the same tiburon frame for the 500 fits the 505. I did an upgrade for one awhile back http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=13119.0
Ok awesome. I took her out and threw it and she is fast already. Any other links to upgrades were I can order would be great.
keep the drag pressure under 8 pound to avoid shredding the main gear. that's the most important thing!
