PENN SS8500 how to upgrade?

hi people,

just acquired one of these retro goldie.
1 qn. how to upgrade sia?
2 qn. the gear ratio abit low at 4.6:1. can upgrade?
mine's the old version with stock drag. The drag feels feeble although this reel's seldom used.

btw, looooking for 9500 too!

Hi neub,
As for the drags you can use carbontex drags,you can get it from Sabre but you need to shape it a bit or you can get the Penn HT 100 drags from Siow Chiang, Arab st.
If you want to mod your anti reverse dogs please refer to this website Hawaii jigging
Happy modifying.................
