50MG conversion to 5:1 ratio

Post by ncbass » Wed Mar 30, 2011 10:55 am

Is there a gear set available to convert a 50MG to 5:1 for a light weight cranking reel for small crankbaits ?

The 5:1 gears from the Calais 200APV can be used to convert the CH50MG to 5:1.

Is the 200APV a current or discontinued reel? TKU

Bantam1, does this require a pinion change as well ?

Thanks !

The 200APV has been discontinued. Yes you will need both the main and pinion gear to perform the conversion. The key washer and drag washer will work inside the gear if I remember right. If not order the Calais drag washer. Same material.
