Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Well I thought about reds all night long and decided the VOT Tib red spool is the color for me. I love it!





Randy is sending out shorter screws and in the meantime I'll get to work inside.

I would love to send you one of the red T60XN kits Greg.  Would you like me to send you a PayPal invoice to the email address that you have on file here on Alantani.com?  I can ship today if we get it done in the next couple of hours.  The total cost is $195 plus $4.94 for shipping to Hawaii by Priority Mail with tracking.

Thank you for your business, I really appreciate it.

Yeah, Thanks for the quick reply Randy. That should be the right email. Still gettin used to non-ebay paypal use, so I'll work on it. Thanks again.

Greg, I just sent you a Paypal invoice. If it did not come through or if you need any help processing it please let me know.

Thank you for your business

So, I spooled up mine with 80 lb. J-braid (PE line), 0.43mm. I got about 450 yds. on it. You mentioned 600yds. a 80 lb. braid at the begginning of this post. Did I not wind properly? It did seem like 600 yds. Would be excessive when I got the spool in hand.

Greg, I have not filled a T60XN spool myself, so I cannot give you a good answer.  I arrived at a 600 yd. v
capacity by multiplying Penn's stated capacity for the 114HL by 1.625/2.75.  This type of calculation has been reasonably accurate in the past.  Maybe someone else can let us know how much line they were able to load.  Just to be safe, I revised my main post to show the capacity as 450 yds.

Randy,
I would like to order a T60XN kit from you. Could you let me know what colors you have available at the moment?

Ben,

I am down to my last two T60XN kits.  Here at home I have a black kit, which I can ship immediately.  I also have a red kit on consignment at a store in Morro Bay.  If you prefer the red, I could have the store put it away for me and can pick it up and ship it to you during the week of 8/27.  If either of those options work for you, please send me your email address and I will send you a Square.com invoice that you can pay with any credit card.

I hope to do a second run of 25 T60XN kits made to order in any of Tiburon colors as soon as I build up enough orders but they are coming in slowly so it's probably not going to happen anytime soon.

Thank you,

Randy

I finally finished up my T60xn extra narrow. This is one beefy reel.

Thank you Mike.  I love that color combination!

I am down to my last T60XN kit.  It is red.  I have a run of 25 more on the boards but I am waiting for enough orders to go ahead in the colors of the buyer's choice so that I don't have to guess what people are going to want.  The orders are not exactly flooding in, but if you want one and don't mind waiting a few months, please let me know your color selection and I will add your name to the list.  You can order these kits in any standard Tiburon color (black, red, purple, silver, electric blue, cobalt blue and dark green).  The frame and spool do not need to be the same color; you can mix and match.  All frames will have a black foot and rod clamp.

Thanks again,

Randy

Randy these are sweet reels and the frame and spool kit make it a tank. Add in all the stainless parts and you have a very strong reel. This one took awhile to locate a doner reel and I had to figure out the screws I nedded. I always buy extra screws for future projects to avoid having to order the wrong ones. This time I didnt have any that would work.

Randy, Does anyone offer aftermarket side plates for these? After I build the 113h narrow from you I want to build one of these. Thanks, Darin
God, Family and Fishing, what else is there?
