Title: Penn International 30/50 Spring Washers
Post by: triumphrick on August 08, 2013, 12:56:25 PM
Greetings folks,

I had a run of spring washers made for me and am now in possession of some of each for Int'l 30's, 50's..

50's are for 50s, 50t, 50 tw. They fit the vw, vsw, vsx's as well. I am sure the tension is different; however the orientation will also change tension and drag lever effect.

Same models for 30's designation.

If you would like to buy them, here are the prices:   .25 each for the 50's, .50 for the 30's. Plus nominal shipping and handling....

Let me know if anyone needs these in quantity..

I sent them stock washers and asked them to match them.

They set up the same as stock in the one 30 W I installed them in.

My local supplier was charging about $1.20 each for these...

the 50TW is the heaviest spring you can put in 20,30 and 50 reels to gain more drag pressure.
in the stock config ()() and keep the stock ramp up on the lever. I deal a lot with Scott's for Penn parts
since i live close by to them., also only 20 min. from Penn in  Phila.
