Dan, welcome to Mr. Tani's neighborhood...those are nice looking reels! here's a  50H tutorial by Alan T. to start you off in the right direction.

they're good reels.  you'll be amazed at how well they will clean up with just a toothbrush and a little grease.  i do not know if http://smoothdrag.com/ has drag washers for these older reels, but check with the lady that owns the place.  if not, we can hobble together a set of penn ht-100 drags washers that will fit.  and welcome!!!!!!!

Welcome Dan, and anyone I may have missed. Don't be afraid to ask anything the people here are the best! Bob

Good deal Dan.

I think I have some prototype metal drag washers for those two reels to install a 5:1 set using HT-100 or Carbontex drag washers.  Contact me in a couple of weeks if you are interested as I'm out of town at the moment.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Wow!I am impressed that someone has prototypes and others recommend HT-100's. I need to do a little research and find out what an HT-100 is. lol. I plan on tearing into one of the reels this weekend. I will post photos on the general questions forum. Thanks again for the welcome.

HT-100 is the Penn name for carbon fiber drag washers, Dartanium II is shamano's "name" and Smooth Drag calls their CF washers Carbontex. 

welcome, guys!  you know, i just had a thought.  i hope none of you get divorced because of us.......

btw elgoog welcome to Mr. Tani's neighborhood...

Welcome Elgoog. My wife said " How are you ever going to fish all those reels". And that was just the spinners on poles she was talking about. The others were out of sight.  Bob

Alan, once posted a Japanese prayer or blessing. I'm not exactly sure. That went:" May your reels one day outnumber her shoes."  I've still got a ways to go. Bob

I need a larger handle for the Daiwa 27H. Can you help?

Hello Alan , I received the 49 SS sleeves and drags I ordered from you and just wanted to say thank you. Now all is needed is a little experience getting them back together and relubed. I have looked for a good post to reassemble them but have not found it any help would be appreciated, I have put new sleeves in but am not sure of the method I used is correct!

Everything is the same but puting the dog in, look at the 113H/114H short tutorial and modify your install to make it work for the 15-49 dog.

If you're putting a 49 together Mis Mo at Scott's Bait and tackle did this tutorial  http://store.scottsbt.com/Repair/49handlesideplate.aspx. Good Luck with it - Jimmer
