Title: ss gear sleeve for penn 9
Post by: twopatch on September 21, 2011, 12:00:40 AM
I installed Alan's sleeve's on my jig masters,and my squidders. And I love them.  I am in the process of looking for some #9's and or #10 penns.   Are the SS gear sleeves interchangable between the two models? Is there an option of fine thread?

sorry, no fine thread option, but they are interchangeable.

Hello twopatch. I personally don't believe that it's woth it for you to upgrade the 9 or the 10 with the stainless steel sleeve. I don't believe that those reels would generate enough pressure that would domage the stock sleeve, but....it's up to you.

oops, sorry, yes, that is a good point.  you would never put enough drag on these reels to need a stainless steel gear sleeve.

Thanks for the replys. I have a #9 and a #109 on the way. We will see how they look on the  inside.

update,I got them in the mail yesterday.  After I stripped off the old line,and gave them a quick once over with a toothbrush and solvent. They are spotless. No green moldey looking stuff that All of my used penn's usally have.
I took the #9 apart today, I noticed everything is Tiny.  espicially the drag washers. I agree that the S.S. gear sleeve is way overkill.  After I get some new drag washers, I will be trolling,with the coolest,newest, 30+ year old reels. I will post a photo,after I am done.  :)

It's nice to see someone else enjoying the older Penn reels.
