Upgrading a 112 black

[Darin Crofton]

I need some direction please. I have a 112 that I want to use on a kite rod, but using it for a teaser reel. The reel is old and needs servicing.
I'd like to make it a little stronger because the teaser I'm using creates a lot of drag. I know this is a lower geared reel, but wanting to know
what upgrades are available like drag, ss sleeve etc. Thank you in advance! Darin

Darin,

Does it have an aluminum spool?  If not, I have one for you. Please let me know where to send the spool to. No charge.

Wow, thanks Bryan, it has a chrome looking spool not an aluminum one. I'll send you a PM now...

Bryan also makes a fantastic drag kit for the 112. It can become a super strong reel when it is all done. The only thing that isn't available is a stronger stand, so make sure you use a solid clamp.

Hi Ron, Does my 5-60 kit fit in the 112?  I have never installed this kit in the 112 because I don't have a reel to confirm fitment.  Please advise.

Thanks,
Bryan

The 112 uses the 66 gear, just like the 113. You can put your big kit in it, which is why it can be such a strong reel. In fact, when I was wiped out and using 50 pound gear on fish that could have been caught with 30, a nice, slow, bullet proof 112 mounted to a broom handle would have been nice.

Thanks Ron. I sent a kit to Joe for Darin's reel. If it fits well, I will need to revise the description.

Bry-Bry, never heard of aluminum spool on a 112- that's a unicorn!


Darin, recco a power handle too. The stock 24-66 on that reel is going to suck reeling in a kite.
