I'm glad you like the sleeves, Tom is a  Master!
About my reels, I hate to disappoint you, but those are 10/0's. Still, they're very hard to get, especially in the condition they're in.
Those are spotless.
I'm glad I could help with my suggestion, good luck with those!

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Thanks everyone for your patience! Think I'm current with all the orders that came in.
I will do a Post Office drop on Friday(6/26) then I'm heading up to the mountains and chase Yogi around and catch some golden trout from a couple secret holes....
I'll be back after the 4th of July weekend.
Thanks!

Just an update. You will need stainless dogs with this upgrade. I had Lee cut some more. The price has gone up to $4 each plus shipping. You can get these from Him or Me.
The brass dog will wear out quickly against that stainless ratchet.

Daron has a small quantity of SS 15-116mk II and SS 15-117 dogs and I have some more.  As soon as he sells the ones he has I will be selling the ones I have and I purchased enough material to cut more.  These are costing more to cut than the smaller dogs but they don't hurt as much to finish, burnt and ground down finger tips.  I will have to sell them for $4.00 each.   All of the 15-116 dogs I have now are the longer SS 15-116mk II dogs, if anyone wants stock length dogs I can make some as needed.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

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

Has anyone ever had a dog damaged from a Stainless sleeve? I'm all for shiny stainless steel parts, but are they really necessary?

I haven't ran a stainless sleeve without one, so I can't answer that Tom.
That would be like running a Stainless dog on a brass sleeve.
We have them, so why not use them. I know they are heavier and make the most Heavenly Sound. :D
Sal,
I'm not going into business, I just wanted to have these available for people that bought Tom's sleeves. I will be happy to keep them.
Feel free to contact Keta if anyone wants these. I am back up.

Tom, from the 4/0 (113H )  and up, I have not seen any damaged dogs, but on smaller reels I have seen it many times.
I personally believe the stainless steel dogs are a good thing. As Daron mentioned, if we have them, why not use them.

Tom,

Did you have any luck on your Yogi & trout quest?

Also, I noticed an ad up on EBay for your gear sleeves.  Dod you consider checking with Scott's to see if they would be willing to carry your product?

Bear, yes.
So common these days, hardly gets me up outta the chair. My buddies kids were a bit rattled, though.
I didn't get to those Golden trout, the weather was a bit dicey on the eastern side of the Sierra when I was there, they even got snow last week. Those trout are hidden away in a few high mountain streams and lakes. I have learned not to pick fights with mother nature.
I had my fill of Brookies and Rainbows to scratch that itch.

I haven't looked into Scott's. I don't do enough volume to make it worth the effort. Remember, I have a day job and this parts stuff just pays for my fishing trips...
Maybe someday!
