Not too long ago Sal posted a picture of various gears. I have spent 20 minutes trying to find that post with no luck. Would someone please direct me to that posting. I want to compare 114(2.0) gears with 349(2.3) gears.
thanks,
John
Maybe the Jigmaster gears?

Is this what you're looking for John?

Karl, thanks for trying.
John,
I don't think Sal has a 349 main gear in his photo. If you don't have an example of each, I'd be willing to disassemble my reels and post a photo here. Is that a 349 or 349H gear you want to see?
George
Sal, thanks that is the one.
George,
Thanks for the offer. I have a couple sets of the 114 gears and a 349(2.3) reel. I wanted compare the two gear sets without taking the 349 apart. If the 349(2.3) gears seem to be as strong as the 114 gears I may put a Newell Wahoo kit on the 349. It will make the 349 the same width as the Narrow 114 I have now.
John
I have both 349H and 349 gears in my spare parts box if you need and dimensions or a photo. The 114H is a much heavier built reel.
Thanks Lee but I want to compare the black side plate 114 gears to a 349(2.3) gear set. I will open up my 349 and take a look. I think I will probably go ahead and install the Newell Wahoo kit on my 349. I know the Wahoo kit was designed for the higher geared 349H but unlike most I like a lower gear set in most of my reels.
John
I haven't stripped my 114 down yet, it's time to fish. AND....I'm getting reels in for R&R that are needed ASAP, not many all winter and now I get them.
John, the 349 main gear diameter is just slightly larger than the 113H, maybe by 1/16 inch or less. The gear teeth are the same size as the 113H. All of the 349 gears I've seen are steel and I imagine they are as strong as, if not stronger than the 113H.

George, thanks for the gear info .
