And if possible - I can't be the only one who would want these.....

I'd be in for two sets for sure

Everything is possible if there is a demand for it. Currently, I am working on 114H 3.25: 1 and 112H/JigMaster 500 5:1.

This would be cool if the gear was slightly deeper or hex shape to get a little more drag out of my beloved 140's.

I've considered re-designing a drag kit for the squiders, but have service many that have warped spool shafts.  i just don't think those reels are designed to handle more than 8# of drag.
: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

I have also dealt with spool shaft issue on 140's. I have a 146 in front of me now and would love to find some gears for it.

I would really like these gears. Especially with stronger drags. I agree that a Newell kit or aluminum frame would be mandatory but what great little reels it would make. A built up fast 100 would be fantastic.

Accurate Magnum squidder sideplates use jigmaster gears I wish I could get some of those cuz I love my squidders but are to slow maybe someone will start making those.There is a guy on eBay getting a lot of tiburon frames and spools made wide jigmaster spools and frames for 500 & 505 he also has bluefin frames and spools but u can't use accuplates on them

That is why I bought a pro gear 255 and 251. Squidder size, jigmaster guts.

So,
Wouldn't a 146 squidder w/ Jigmaster guts be a 501? I thought the spools were basically the same except the pinion notch.

The squidder spool and sideplate diameter is much smaller.

Here's another guy that would take a set of 4.5/1 or 5/1 gears for a 146.  I don't know what you could get in there but I'm in for a set.

Ron Jones

To be honest the speed would be secondary to strength for me. I really don't want a brass gear in any fishing reel. I understand that they are fine for the original design but I don't fish anything the way it was originally designed.

The great thing about this main gear is it is used in so many Penn reels. Just like Black Pearls 6/0 & 9/0 main this gear could be matched to just a few pinions and cover dozens of reels. If it was Hex you could even build it to put enough drag into the large Long Beaches and black Senators.
