PENN REELS / PENN BAJA SPECIAL 113HN and U.S. SENATOR MODEL BRIDGE PROBLEMS
« Last post by Wompus Cat on December 02, 2022, 06:59:30 AM »
The otherwise REEL GOOD PENN BAJA REEL and the U.S. SENATOR have a MAJOR FLAW in their Bridge/Bridge Plate as the Pins that hold the Dogs in place will just pop out causing CATOSTROPHIC  FAILURE if left unchecked .
This is REALLY a CHEAP ASS DESIGN in my opinion  and I can't believe Penn let them out to Customers  to start with .
Fortunately there are some things you can do if you catch it in time .
                                        What reels are affected?
ALL OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED I HAVE TORN DOWN
Here is what I did on a few and Below there is a More Permanent Solution by Cortez Conversion that REELY TAKES CARE OF THE BLUNDER Below

Here is what happens . The pins come out  thus allowing the Dogs to just fall all over the place and eventually will tear up the whole Sprigenwerks





What I did is Clean the Hell out of the whole thing with Brake Cleaner
 




Then peen the pins back in place with a Center Punch by placing the  top on a Solid piece of metal and clobbering it from the Back Side .Then turn the plate over and Punch 4 or 5 spots around the circumference THEN add a few Drops of Suber Glue back and front .








This is a Fix and  NOT a Permanent one however  it will last a lot longer than originally configured and get you back fishing for some time .


The BEST WAY is to Buy a Modified Assembly from Cortez Conversions and don't worry about your 400 DOLLAR  reel Disintegrating on ya when you least expect it  which is  usually the moment you hook in to that Fish of  a LIFETIME.
 
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PART From TOM  https://cortezconversions.com

It is BEEFED UP with solid pins and re positioned springs, a Solid  Stainless one piece Gear Sleeve !



It is DAMN NEAR INDESTRUCTIBLE with a NEW Heavy Duty Stainless Steel  1 Piece MULTI Tooth Gear Sleeve ,Modified Pins , Springs, and Retainers .
       
                      AVAILABLE HERE
