Title: Penn spinner drag knob seal
Post by: Cone on April 09, 2012, 07:59:06 PM
 Hi I just wanted to let you know the drag knob seal used on penn spinners is available seperatly. I needed to replace some on mine but its not listed on the schematics, just the part # for the entire drag knob. Penn has them available for 2.10 the part number is 053A6500. I know they fit the old 7500 and 8500 ss reels and the new 7500ssm. It looks like it will fit my 6500ss too. I don't know about the other Penn Spinners but Sal will know.

Update. I pulled the seal off a 650ss and it looks the same and the new seal fits. So this seal fits the 52N-650N drag knob with seal and the 52N-750N drag knobs.
$2.10 is kinda steep for a rubber seal but it still beats $9.45 or $10.50 for a new drag knob if the only thing bad is the seal. The people taking orders at Penn couldn't give me a part # for the seal but were more than willing to sell me new drag knobs. :o Just give them the part # above and you will get the seals. These knobs cover the 650ss, 650ssm, 6500ss, 9500ss, 704z, 705z, 706z, 747, 750ss, 750ssm, 757, 850ss, 850ssm, 950ssm, 7500ss and the 8500ss. Bob
