We had cut thinner metal washers mated with Carbontex or HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers to allow a 5+1 drag configuration.  I just don't exactly know how they fit because after we cut them, I haven't seen another sealine reel in for service. 

I have a set of the thinner washers. It took a little adjustment to get them to fit over the gear shaft. Dawn at smoothdrag sent carbontex washers that fit tightly into the gear. She advised a light sanding of the outside edge to get them to fit. Maybe I should have taken a little bit more off as they were still pretty tight, but I was impatient and wanted to get the reel fishing. I guess I'll see what happens when I need to remove them.

I was able to real world test them on a bat ray of 87# and was quite pleased with how they performed.

Any word on the 5+1 drag configuration for this Daiwa 50H?

Bryan Young

We are experimenting with a set.  The problem is that our stack is a bit high and the drag is about 0.5# with the star backed off.  Will need to do some additional figuring.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

With 5+1 drag washers what would you think is the heaviest line test that could be used on this reel considering the strength of the gearset??

How thick are the CF washers, Dawn has .020 washers that can be reworked.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

I'm not sure Lee.  I didn't have the right size of Carbontex and had to go with HT-100s.

Carbontex are all thicker, you can cure the problem with a quick call to Dawn.  That's how I'm getting 7+1 in 113H, 349H and 114H Penn reels.

I just picked up 2 - 50H. I ordered the Carbontex Drags from Dawn. Should I change the Bearing also? What size bearings should I use if needed? I will be calling Daiwa because I need a Jack Handle because the button is missing.

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

The bearings come in the bearing caps. There's no other option unless you are willing to grind out the bearing from the caps. These bearings are great and last a long time. Every one that opened up is packed with grease.

Bryan, any word yet on the 5 stack for the 50h? When can I get a set?    Rudy

it's really exciting to see the old sealines getting attention.  I've caught more fish on my 50H than any reel I've
owned. It has had smoothies in it for years. I would love a  CF upgrade.

I'm waiting for Bryan & Lee to cut the thinner metal washers for the 300h which are the same as the 50h & 350h, then we can have 5+1 setups in all of them.       Rudy
