Penn Drag Washer Dimensions (2005 list)
By Alan Tani
http://alantani.com/
Here is a list of the 25 smaller drag ht-100 drag washers that Penn makes. The washers are listed by part #, followed by the inner diameter in millimeters, the outer diameter in millimeters and the thickness in millimeters. What follows after that is a listing of the common reels that use this drag washer.
For the engineers in the group, my methodology is as follows. I bought an "el cheapo" 0-6" (150mm) "performance tool" digital caliper (stock #w80153) from my local auto parts store for $20. I have a Plano storage box filled with 26 different Penn ht-100 drag washers purchased from pennparts.com. I reached into the box and grabbed one washer at random. I did a single measurement for the inner diameter if round or a minimum and a maximum if the inside hole was hexagonal in shape. I did a single measurement of the outer diameter, not including the "keys" if the drag washer was keyed. "Keyed" washers are so noted. I also did a single measurement of the thickness. The actually mm's displayed on the digital screen was listed, although the results should be considered accurate only to the "tenth" of a millimeter, not the "hundredth."
In the future, I will start a list of Penn drag washers that fit in other brands of reels. You may measure the stock drag washers in your reel, compare the dimensions (don't forget to account for thickness) and order reels accordingly. Your local shop should be able to obtain the washers for you and also obtain Shimano drag grease if you so desire. This list will be updated periodically, along with an ever growing list of reels. Each update will be numbered and dated. As always, e-mail me for questions at alantani@yahoo.com. Good luck. Alan

11/30/2024 This is the spot if you fix Penn reels. What a awesome shop. Great website. Schematics of reels on hand with available parts list. Best shop around. Since you can't walk into Penn reels in Philly anymore, this is the next best thing. Thanks for your services!!!!! Even parts for vintage reels. Delivery is super quick as well.
10/23/2024 Easy to order parts and they shipped fast. Great seller! Hope to do business with them again! If you do not find what you are looking for do a Google search with Mystic Reel Parts in the search with your model. I have a Penn 285 and 9 and it took me to the exact page for both. Also have the reel schematics.

I luckily found MysticParts via a Google search. Their website is comprehensive and I was at a loss on what I needed. Fortunately the “contact us” option was user friendly. To my delight I got a personalized and VERY helpful response right away. She asked questions to fully understand my needs and then followed up with links to the right parts. We continued our email exchange regarding my second reel issue and, again, she was extremely knowledgeable and gave me both practical as well as professional solutions.
If you need reel parts and assistance with repair and maintenance, do not hesitate to work with them.
