DRAGS:
The 130 drags are unique, but I discovered that a little bit of elbow-grease will make Jigmaster drags work just fine.
The original 130 drags have the nearly the same outside diameter 24.44mm (.962) as (Jigmaster #6-309 drags - 24.59mm)
but the inside diameter is slightly larger - 10.95mm (Jigmasters are 10.76mm).
I was able to easily file the inside hole of the metal washers to make them fit.
It's easier to use a knife to scrape away at the center hole of the HT-100 drag washers to make it larger.
This reel will take a stack of five drag washers (five metal and five HT-100).
I used two 7-500 and three 86-500 metal washers along with the five 6-309 modified drag washers.
The metal washers had to have the center hole enlarged also but not a lot.
The original 86-130 metal drags had a center hole of .444 inches. 86-500 metal washers have a center hole of .431 inches.
Of course someone could simply use the original brass washers
but I have always been told that I should only use stainless steel washers with the HT-100 drags.
There are two different designs of this reel: Standard design with internal drags similar to most Penn reels;
and a model with external access to drags as found on some generations of Senator reels.
The external drag model has a pressure plate and shorter spacing sleeve, both parts are unique to the model 130.
Both versions take the same number of metal and drag washers: 5 metal and 5 drag washers

(You will have to do the modifications described in the notes here)
ALSO: Option for Replacing Eccentric Lever
The eccentric lever was 21-130SAIL, which is discontinued.
The 21-49 does work but it stands out from
the side plate a little too far.
It is extremely easy to put the 21-49 into a vise
(protected by cardboard) and give it a slight bend.
Then it looks just like the original after being installed.

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.
