I am going to rebuild 2   
Penn 4/0 Senators:  drags(possible frame) and one has broken crank
And a
Daiwa Sealine 450H: crank and drags
Do you have any suggestions?
I only fish tune 2 or 3 times a year, is it worth doing the Penn frame strengthening addition? And I read there is a better drag system what do you suggest?

Good to see your site

Are they the 113H high speed models? Or just the regular black sided 4/0?
Here is a good place to start.

john, good to have you here!  i'm still in saratoga.  if you are anywhere in the neighborhood, swing by the house.  there is always cold beer in the frig.  you can dump alot of money into those reels if you are not careful.  you want to avoid that if you can.

Some of us do it because we can and we like to tinker.  I have close to $150 into one of my 349H reels, not counting the price I paid for it in 1979.  The big expense was the hard to find new Newell aluminum spool, the second would have been bearings but Broadway had some for a good price, the third was the 501 crossbars.  The 5+1 drag parts were cheep.
