Nice!

I have no need for a 9/0, but the last pic you posted makes me want one, or two.

Again, nicely done, and the frame looks great!!!
I don't know how to do everything, but I know how to get everything done.

Couldn't have happened without you Dom. ;)
He already wants me to do another one for him. He has another one of your frames. ;D
I won't do these mods without it! 8)

Wow... Very nice Shark Hunter, I like it.

Agreed!
And most offshore fisherman will always be in need of an 80lb rig.
But it doesn't need to be a $1000 reel with 2 speeds and a bunch of bearings..

I think as far as the 9/0 is concerned,
the whole stainless gear/hardened pinion, double dog, 7+1 drag, 40+lbs, not to mention Hex gears!  :o pushing 50lbs
is only made effectively possible by the addition of a solid 1 piece chassis.

Half frame vs. Full frame becomes personal preference, but the need still exists for somebody to keep producing a
solid frame option to keep this all alive.

Who's on deck for the next run of 9/0 frames?

I'm in need of one of these frames if anyone ever wants to part with one, or if another batch is made.

There is a full frame Mike. Its called Accurate. ;)

This one is from Tom Hryniuk himself and was used as the model for the half frames. They are rare. A Few members here have the Silver ones. I missed out on those. It was before I arrived.
It sits on top of my Safe in the Living room to my Wife's Dismay. ;) It needs a dusting I can see.
It has all the goodies in it like yours, except for a stainless bridge from my man Adam. ;D

John,
I have learned from past experience, you have to strike when the iron is Hot brother. You may not get another chance.

I think we are above snazzy Adam. It is the Pièce de résistance! :o Thank You Paisan! ;)
I like the Patina of this reel. With some Bling! 8)
Lots of people here made this reel happen. Tom Hyrinuk, Dominick, Alan Chui, Adam, Dawn, Lee, Bryan, El Jefe and of Course Sal! Many thanks to all of you! I couldn't have done it by myself.
