Ive seen a few Pro Gear 4 and 5 hundred series reels for sale, and was wondering if these reels have any parts inside compatable with the Senators? As they have a decent frame,spool, plates, what is the weak points? They are not very common it seems? Just wonderin. ???

ProGear 251/255 is like an Accurate Squidder Magnum. It uses a Jigmaster bridge, gear sleeve, anti-reverse dog, eccentric cam, and eccentric lever. I'm not sure about the eccentric and it uses a different yoke.
ProGear 541/545 is like an Accurate Magnum jigmaster. It uses a 113H bridge, gear sleeve, anti-reverse dog, eccentric cam, and eccentric lever. I'm not sure about the eccentric and it uses a different yoke.
ProGear 454/440/441 and YellowTail Special uses all 113H internals.
You would love a Pro Gear 454 Gary, and I just happen to have an extra for sale. ;) Sorry for the plug.... Just love the updated old school stuff.
Just like a 113h with a strong frame. I always put Penn's updated drag stack and a SS gear sleeve if I'm going to fish them. I stopped buying steel gears for them because I have never stripped a gear fishing SF area. The ProGears have manganese bronze mains that are plenty strong enough.
Also the Penn 24-349 handle and star fits perfect and makes it bullet proof.
Great for the mogambo halibut you keep showing pics of.
Thanks for the info, seems like I got behind somehow? A new project build is planned. Now i gotta start looking for a sleeper. ::)
