hello everyone... happy Holidays
we have a local fishing forum / sellers here in the P.I. , a lady posted an item that caught my attention... she posted a 112H with a Tiburon frame..
I almost lit up like a Christmas Tree when I saw it! :D ;D ... I said to my self, I have to grab it ! sent her a pm... negotiated for a fair price, and we agreed.
and the following day, the item arrived, a penn 112H 3/0 on a Tiburon !.. a " swweeett reel " a unfished shiny Red Candy !... im Happy...
im not going to fish the candy yet...
maybe after the holidays I may able to peek inside... and maybe do a rebuild...
thanks for looking

Very nice Alan. That's a great deal.
A true candy beauty.
Thank Alan for your reply, yes as you say cheap price, good score, have to be lucky some days ay, cheers Don.
I guess that is a discontinued full frame model. On Tiburon's site I only see a "topless frame" T3. Or maybe I am confused.
That's a beauty Alan. Definitely a rare find in the PI. Keep it locked up good. I had a DAM Quick spinner, a Penn 114H and a TLD 25 stolen from our house in Bulacan while it was being renovated. I wasn't there as I stayed at home in the States and my wife, who was overseeing the job, didn't think to secure my fishing tackle from the workers.
They didn't steal the rods, as I guess, they couldn't hide them in their lunch pail.
Oh well, live and learn.

Yep, top bar model discontinued a few years ago. Only topless now. Rudy

hello sir Rudy... any reason why it was discontinued?... from my side I could see that the frame has more strength integrity than a topless one... or am i mistaken?.. ??? just a thought ...
thanks...
A Tiburon design change. I haven't heard of any frame failures. The newer design also is a full frame. The newer design gives more thumb clearence and easier to see the lay of your line.
