I'm ordering all the material I need for more of the 4/0 and 6/0,9/0 insert kits. I'm going to be making some changes to these to improve the quality and consistency of the parts. The following will apply to all sizes except the 12/0 and 14/0 insert kits.
Insert material is getting changed from 304 stainless to 360 brass H02 temper. The brass is actually stronger and harder than 304 stainless, and will have a higher quality cut, and therefore better tolerances. The 6/0 inserts are going to use a slightly smaller carbon fiber washer than the previous stainless versions. The carbon fiber drag washers will not be interchangeable with the stainless inserts, but I will continue to offer replacements for those, as well as for the new brass ones.
The price on the hardened stainless I have been using for the thin washers has gone up, so I'll be using 6al-4v titanium for the thin drag washers with these kits, but will continue to use 304 stainless for the thick washer at the top of the stack.
I will have both sizes available by the end of the month, and the daiwa 900h size kits will be available at the same time.
The price will likely be increasing a little, but I expect it to be less than 10%. These changes will improve the quality of these kits, and will result in far better availability.
Awesome! I'm down for a 9/0 insert when they become available.
Adam, I'm in for a set...
Bob
Depending on price I'm down for a couple of the 4/0 kits.
Oh yeah...one of each Adam..please
Bob
Count me in for two of each Adam.
I'm in for one set of 6/0-9/0. RUDY
Adam I would like for (2) 4/0 kits, (1)6/0 & (1)9/0. Thanks Thanks.
Steve
I will need a bunch of 113H 4/0 kits.
Keith
A bunch is at least 10.
I would like 2-4/0 kits if there's any left after filling Keiths "bunch" order. :D :D
Those 113H kits are really nice. Pair them with Black Pearl's 416 stainless gear set and a stainless sleeve and you have a tank in your hands. ;)
I'm still needin 4 for the 4/0 when you got em.
Any update on the 4/0 inserts yet?
Im a bit behind schedule on new parts, Ive been slammed with work the past few weeks. I hope to have the 113H kits available in about 2 weeks, and I should have a few 114H/115 kits available by next weekend.
I have a couple of big jobs going on at the moment that are tying up the majority of my time. Im trying to keep up with orders of existing parts first, and then the batch parts and new products.
do you have a price on the 4/0 insert with washers? Thanks Jamie
I have 7 of the stainless 6/0, 9/0 sized insert kits available, and have added them to my website, along with the remaining big senator insert kits.

Thank you!
Any update on availability and price of the 4/0 insert kits? Just curious, don't want to miss out.
Adam, I see the 9/0 insert is current unavaliable on the website, any idea when you will have some more?
Thanks Peter
Its going to be a few weeks on the next run of the 6/0 and 9/0 kits. But I do have material on hand for a large batch, so availability shouldnt be an issue once.

They are out of stock now. The 7 that were available are long gone.
thanks for getting back to me about the 6/0 inserts --- in the future will you be making more offset handle(style 1) that fit the 114h/115 and the 113h and if so when will they be available ---thanks Sean Maguire
What kind of drag numbers do these inserts produce for the 113h, i assume it's more than the 5 stack available from Black pearl?

Here you go Mark:

and here are the latest HX from ProChallenger:

These don't require inserts, compared with the ones above will dish out a little more drag.
both are great options.
Sal
Thanks Sal. For some of my 113's more senators than 113h's are used to grouper fish the gulf those I have drag very close to the test strength of 60# leader. so no drag really if they make bottom you ain't keeping a big one out of his hole, so the expression was hammer the star down.
tried to order a couple of these doesn't give USA as a shipping option then gives message that if place doesn't show up (USA)

I just ordered on the website and the USA option is in the list but took me a little time to find.
It's printed "USA"
I still have a couple of the 4/0 insert kits, and the 6/0 and 9/0 insert kits should be ready by the end of next week.
I am interested in two 4/0 and one 6/0. Are you still making them?
Also, is there any benefit in upgrading U.S. Senators or Baja Specials? Just bought some.
Sorry if these are dumb questions. I've recently become obsessed with Older Penn's.

I am still making them. Out of stock on both sizes at the moment, but Im working on another batch of both sizes.
The US Senators already have this style of drag from Penn, so no need to upgrade. The baja special doesnt use standard 113H parts, so my 113H kit will not fit those either.
I have a made in USA 9/0 purchased new in 2008. Do you have anything available to upgrade the drag for this reel?
Thanks
