Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Great post.
Sal was a very talented man.

I was fishing with a Luxor300/Harnell setup that I inherited from an old time friend.  I unintentionally dunked it yesterday and am breaking it down and cleaning it out today.  The fiber washer under the rotor is in bad shape.  Has anyone made a replacement for the fiber washer? Even though I didn't catch anything it was a good feeling using his old setup.  Thanks

I know this is a year later. But a less involved drag upgrade I do is replace the soft washer with a Penn 704 ht100,old fiber or even older leather soft washer. Keep the metal keyed washer up top. And under the spool I use the Teflon 704 drag washer. Much better than the original set up. Not as great as modifying to have several like earlier posts.
