Coming along nicely Chad - great photos of the head plate internals.

It can't be too difficult - a lot of people do it.

I finished up Derin's Magnum 4/0 last night.
Ted's eccentric lever was a hair shorter than the original, but worked perfect, and looks killer!



Alan Chui's new aluminum drag star looks great as well.





He also includes a thin delrin washer to go between the star and the handle arm.



And here's the finished reel.







This is a beast of a 4/0! 
Can't wait to see what you pull out of the depths with it Darin!

How's the freespool?  Drag has got to be off the charts.

Free spool is not amazing, but decent, I didn't actually time it though.

Drag maxed out at 43 lbs. and still smooth.

I think that will be adequate  :)
