Tiburon has asked us to find out if there would be any interest in a 220 frame/spool for those who would like to narrow their 229 or 235 Newells, or for those who have C or S series reels who would like to replace that awful set up with those long screws that go through the bars. As you probably know, the Tiburon spools are super heavy duty, machined out of a solid block of aluminum. The complete kit would be $130 for the frame, spool and rod clamp kit. Please let us know if that might be of interest.
Thanks,
Randy
Don't they make frames already? I like the graphite spools ok but aluminum would be nice too. A narrowed 235 would be cool. I'd likely get 1 kit maybe red or or purple to match some plates I have.
How about a narrow 600 kit?
I would be interested in a kit , what colors would the frame and spools be in ?

Sheridan, they already make frames but they have never made a 220 spool. A narrow 600 kit would be great, but I don't think that there are very many Newell 600 series reels in California. Most of them seem to have wound up along the Gulf Coast and in Hawaii, and they are not as dialed into narrow reels as we are here, so it might be hard to sell enough kits to make it work.

The frames come in silver, black, red, purple, electric blue, cobalt blue and dark green. I would guess that their standard spool color would be black, but if there is enought interest and they did decide to make a run of spools, you could probably special order a complete kit (frame and spool) in any of the frame colors.
I like the idea but I'm not sure if spools will be needed, especially if it's heavier. If they can lighten it to be similar in weight to a graphite spool, that would be an awesome casting spool.
One that may be more popular would be a 322 kit. Also with a lighter spool than Stock 322 spool. I know they can do it. They've done it for the TN40s and TN50s.
Like the lighter spools myself. Not entirely for casting but bait action.
Tight lines, Brendan.
Did you say "narrow"
🤓
A light aluminum 220 spool would be great.
Maybe a 633 size, all I see is those super wide ones.
i have a 322 frame and spool kit, would be nice if the spool was lighter but still casts pretty well.
Why not, anything would be better than nothing. Parts are getting harder to find. They need to step up their production runs, been waiting for a 533NK kit for months now.

Do you want me to see if I can scrounge up an N533NK for you?
Bet you could sell a few to go with bryans new plates. Makes one nice narrow reel

i actually reached out to you a couple months ago. I was looking for all black, you had some kits but not in black. I talked to Bob at Tiburon and he said they may have a production run in January. I'm not in a hurry, just one of many little projects sitting on the bench.
I actually was looking for a black or silver 533 narrow kit as well to use with Bryan's side plates. Tiburon did not have them. Not even to mix and match. I hit you up as well Randy with no luck on the color I wanted. Luckily Bryan was kind enough to sell me his kit. He did have a black frame with a silver spool or vice versa. Might try to hit him up, see if he still has it and wants to sell.
Great idea I'd be interested. Something to do this winter.
Randy do you have any colored 533 narrow kits?

Thanks,.

Taking all of my stuff... this came off my reel.
I have a silver frame with a black spool that I'd be willing to sell.
Sorry Randy, didn't mean to hijack your thread

Farmer, the 220 spools will not work, as Ed said, but I do have a good collection of black plastic spools that will work in any of those narrow reels. Please let me know if you can use any.
Thanks,
Randy

Thank you for your business Farmer. I am expecting to ship the narrow 113H kits by the end of the first week of January, possibly sooner.
I do have a good used Newell aluminum spool to fit the 180, 100 or 155 for $30 plus $3.75 for shipping by USPS first class parcel with tracking. Would you like it?
Thanks,
Randy

For those interested, Tiburon now has spools in stock for the 220's. Looks like all colors. Not on their website yet so send them an email. I believe they will be $65.00 each. but call or email to confirm.
Saw them first hand today, very nice and very light
