Penn 7500-9500ss dogs and ratchet fix stainless steel/titanium
My old 8500ss has sat on the shelf for 2 years after blowing the brass dogs and ratchet for about the 3rd time. Took ages but i finally tracked down someone who makes and sells them in stainless/titanium. Also the ratchet has been upgraded to a 16 tooth (original 6 tooth) to take the backlash out of a big hit.
I have just put it together and although now it is noisier i am hoping it is a proper fix, and yes the old brass dogs did let me down on fishing trips.

The above is where you can purchase, cost 26 bucks or there abouts.

Here are some pics and a bit about the creation.
Anyone with the 750 850 or 950 USA models this might be good.
I just need to take it to the beach.

goods stuff, I have an old 750 that has some bad backlash, so I may look into this.

Tasty hot up.
Did you do the drag change? The Japs have a you tube vid on the 950 with some crazy mods.
