Title: DISCONTINUED Daiwa Sealine 600H 5+1 Drag Kit - $28 shipped in USA
Post by: Bryan Young on October 27, 2014, 01:06:04 AM
Remember my original drag washer kit for the Daiwa Sealine 600H?
(http://alantani.com/gallery/11/386_26_10_14_4_52_16_11587652.jpeg)

As you recall, these new drags deliver a smooth 25#'s of drag easily with a max of 35#-37#.  Beats the stock drags delivering a sticky 15-20#'s of drag.

I just received an older 600H and this is what I had found.
(http://alantani.com/gallery/11/386_26_10_14_5_49_11_11590989.jpeg)
If you noticed, the older reel's gear has a center lip in the main gear like man of the Sealine Series reels.
(http://alantani.com/gallery/11/386_26_10_14_5_49_24_115911188.jpeg)
If you still could not see it, I've installed carbon fiber drag washers to help you see the difference.
(http://alantani.com/gallery/11/386_26_10_14_5_49_45_115922124.jpeg)
Therefore, my new kit will have one of the carbon fiber drag washers where the inside diameter enlarged to accommodate the older 600H reels.  This will not affect the drag range of these reels one bit.
(http://alantani.com/gallery/11/386_26_10_14_5_49_02_115891923.jpeg)
As many have told me, why not do a tutorial to grind the center lip, and I shared that I didn't want to do this because there may be fisherman/woman out there that may not have access to grinding tool and therefore I wanted my kits to be drop in kits.  So here's the new kit.
(http://alantani.com/gallery/11/386_26_10_14_4_52_06_115831365.jpeg)


It contains the following:

    1 - Under-gear dimensionally modified Penn HT-100 carbon fiber drag washer
    1 - First in-gear dimensionally modified Penn HT-100 carbon fiber drag washer (ID enlarged as explained above)
    4 - In-gear Penn HT-100 carbon fiber drag washer
    2 - Thin, hard stainless steel keyed metal washers
    1 - Thin, hard stainless steel eared metal washers

Like the original kit, you will still need to use one eared and one keyed washer from the original drag stack.

The cost of the new drag kit is $28 shipped in the USA.  International orders will incur actual shipping charges.

Please PM me here or send me an email to Ultimate.Upgrade@yahoo.com.

Thank you.
Bryan

 I got the drag kit installed...almost ??? My friend, who I ordered the 2nd kit for, used the original thin keyed washer last and is happy with the drag performance. I used the thick keyed washer and it seems to work as well? Also... My 3 yr old granddaughter was helping me and mixed up the 3 tension washers  :-\ so I'm not sure if I got them in right. 2 thin, 1 thick. Cup in on the 1st thin one against the thick eared one, then cup out on the second thin one, then cup in on the thick one against the collar. At least it seems to work that way :-\. The kit works great! Tied the line to my Schnauzer's collar and threw a dog treat and stopped her mid leap :o Can't wait to try it out on a big fish.

Very Nice Bryan! Way to adapt and make a plug and play drag kit. ;)
I'll take a set for my 600. You can throw in those 114H ss sleeves as well.
Thanks

The order should be fine.  I chose the order to best fit the main gear.

Thank you very much, alantani and Shark Hunter!  I feel very welcomed  :).  I really appreciate all the help you guys give.  I just got back in country with my Ultimate Drag kit, so am about to do the upgrade.  I just heard that blue marlin are starting to show up here in Okinawa, so I'm hoping I can test out the drag kit on one  ;D .  Also heard that the other day, what they think was a big bluefin spooled a 50W with 1,100 meters of line on full drag.  Must not have had an Ultimate Drag kit on it  ;)

Cheers!

I cannot take all of the credit.  The credit goes to Penn for the HT-100 carbon Fiber washers and to whom ever discovered Stainless steel.  I just took it to another level for these great reels.

I see that same lip on Big Senator Gears. Its not an issue with the loose tolerance of the Ht-100's on these.

I just installed your carbon drag today that I received last week, thanks. It was easy peasy and all good to go, except for a set plate screw that I'm missing. I found out this only after I got the parts that I ordered from Daiwa in. Now I gotta call them back on Monday for a single screw. Oh well.

Hello Brian. Just wanted to thank you for sending the kit so quickly.  Can't wait to install and use it.  I was so impressed with the 400h kit that i had to do this to the 600h!  I really appreciate it.

Hi Eugene,

It took me 10 years to get through my inventory of drag kits. It's highly unlikely due to the cost. Everything has gone up 6x since I initially offered the kits.

And I cannot afford to keep that kind of inventory.

If we can find a shop that can do a small run, it's likely.
