Check the local drug store's nail polish for something that matches.

How much of the handle do you see when you're actually fishing?

I believe the Curado 100DSV had brass gears but as Riley stated the pinion gear is no longer available (BNT2405) but the main drive gear is abundant (BNT1325). Here’s a useful link for Shimano parts, they have Daiwa parts as well but not as plentiful... https://www.southwesternparts.com My BNT1325 ...

I really think it is just about money, not product. For the right money I would certainly change brands, of underwear or almost anything else.

Let's not go to far! It's hard to fish with a wedgie

BNT1514 would be the main gear part number for the lefty.

Bantam1,
Southwesternparts says that BNT1514 is no longer avaiable.
Do you have another source?

Thank you.

Did they make a CU 101DVS? One of my MG50's is a left handed model.

Mark, the original CH50Mg main gear is aluminum. And hoohoo is correct about the cu100D vs. Dsv. I asked on the shimano page and that is what Dan said. So from my understanding, if you plan on using heavy line, or techniques with lots of torque/drag pressure, a brass gear addition will definitely h...

Thanks.

I read on a post here some time back that although the pinion gear has been discontinued and unavailable for a long time, the main gear for the CU100/CH50mg/CU100D reels can still be found. Although best practice is to replace as a set, I have seen many CH50Mgs with broken teeth on their aluminum m...

I’ll probably just take my chances and give it a shot.

Just keep them in their original bags, keep them separate from regular plastisol baits, and you'll be fine.

Repeat.

You can try gap filling super glue. Put a dab onto the hole, smooth it with your finger, and use accelerant to set it. Or use some Devcon 2 Ton epoxy. They should both hold up to the salt.

I have four MG50 reels that I don't fish anymore because I'm afraid they won't hold up to the fishing I do now. Is there some way to beef them up? The Curado 100B and 100D gears fit, and are thicker across the face of the gear teeth. Not sure on availability of those parts, though. Just dont fish t...
