Hi all,
I bought a used narrowed 113h off ebay for a sweet price (it wasn't listed as narrow).
I'm sure I'll be posting more questions as I dig in and tune it up.
It arrived last night and I was surprised how quiet it is - my other 113h's and jigmasters have a pronounced click from the ar dog when cranking - but the new reel is silent.
I didnt think it was possible to silence a 113h - anybody know whats up ?
Thanks,
Red
nicely greased?
I have double dogged 9/0's that are pretty quiet because I grease them up good.
maybe someone put a silent dog in it?

You grease the dog?
I grease everything inside there. Not intentionally on the dogs, it just ends up there. My last step before I button one up is to get grease around the main gear. I'll squirt it in with a syringe and turn the gear and repeat. This is a good thing to do especially with steel gears. That last step quiets the dogs down considerably.
Might just be an old dog spring. I worked on a small senator that was surprisingly quiet. AR worked fine, but the spring was clearly a little 'tired'.
I use a thicker grease on the dog to keep it in place during reassembly but that also tends to make them significantly quieter than before.
thanks folks - I haven't had a chance to pull either of my 113H's apart yet, but I'll definitely compare grease levels.
I took a quick look at my narrow jigmaster and its not bone dry but its certainly not loaded - I'll probably try adding more lube to it first just to see if it changes the sound (gotta love the one screw take-down)
I'm also going to post some sideplate pic's -- while these are both made in USA reels, they have very different sideplates both cosmetically and in terms of the contours beneath the handle and drag star.
thanks again !

There may also be some crud built up on the bridge screw. I bet just taking it apart and putting it back together will do the job.

I LIKE it silent ;D
trying to figure out how to make my other reels silent and make sure I don't lose the silence when I tune it up
Silent but Violent! ;D
