penn 525 mag T rebuild - 2/14/2010

[fishtaco]

 my  buddy  Billy  directed me to your website
I  just serviced a 525  mag,  but. did not  greased the drags
because I  don't have the right kind of grease
Billy will send me  some  to  go back and finish the  job.

I bought a used Saltist reel with  greased drags and they felt loose, 
so I  tightened  them  just to pull the hook from a big  yellow
so I guess it had the wrong grease ?  because they feel light  but  when the
farming was done, I  checked the drags and were  very tight
?

with the wrong grease, the drags usually lock up.  check for metal washers out of order, thrust washers along the handle drive shaft out of order, and spectra slipping on the spool.  those are the first things that come to mind.  please keep us in the loop.  alan

Not to threadjack, but can the left side plate of the 525T (UK) fit the 525 (US)?
