Hi, someone have a idea how to get 30-35lb of drag on penn senator 9/0?
i already bought cal.s grease and lucas oil i would get it in 4 days. Can this get 35 lb of drag for my reel?

Ultimate Upgrade drag stack from Mystic Parts-it's in the parts listing for the 115.

For all Penn parts go to Mystic Parts in N.J. USA. They are the primary Penn parts dealer. Yes on the Cal's Drag grease which you can also get at Mystic.

At least 35# at full spool. Remember the drag will increase more as line gets lower on the spool.

That's it! Go for it. Don't forget a s/s gear sleeve & s/s dog, that's the first step in hot rodding a reel. You might also need a longer power handle & larger knob. Nobody said it will be cheap. Join us at the bottom of the rabbit hole.  ;D  ;D

i dont see it on mystic parts

thorhammer

it's UU-Penn114H 7+1; $40. It's there. As Rudy stated, make sure your other bits are up to the task....If your 9/0 has a steel main gear, that'd be a great feature. From there, SS gear sleeve.

Welcome to the site Paolo. Do you know how much drag you were getting with the stock 9/0?
