I found several 500/112H octagon adapters in a box under my work bench.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

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

I think that this frame only works with the stock side plates. I'm ok with bushings; less to go wrong.

I had my legs crushed several years ago and money can be tight, reels keep my hands and mind occupied.

I was left an incomplete paraplegic after an injury 24 years ago. I live on the water and still fish out of my Ocean Master 31'. The reels keep me busy and my mind off the non relenting spinal cord pain..!! I do understand what you mean..!!

You are worse off than I am, I fall down (before tequila) and live with constant pain but I can still walk most days.

Bula Salty,
Have you changed out the drags yet for Bryan's 5 stack or Lee's octagon?
If so, how'd it go and hows it working for you?

just wondering.. as i sit here and fondle my own 112h  ;D trying to decide who's the best candidate for the coveted Tib frame, the 112h, the 100, or the 501 (1 at a time, slowly slowly)

Lee, do you have any more of those left? I'd like to give one a go if you do. pm with details. 

Thanks you guys!

I'll look when I go to the shop in the morning.

If it was me I'd do the frames in this order, 112H (narrow), 501 then the Surfmaster.  I'm working on putting a Newell base and bars on one of my 150s right now and a Tiberon frame for one of my 100's will be next.

I haven't used Bryans 5 stack but made my own before the kit was available and the reel did very well with a strong ramp up in drag pressure compared to the normal 3 stack, I easily got 20# which is way more than I need from this reel. I haven't used the octagon insert but have used the hex insert and got 20 # again but I did not push the reel any further. I use my reel for 30-50# topshots and don't use more than 15# of drag on it. I have a standard width 112H with ss 4:1 accurate gears, ss double dogs, 5+1 carbon fiber drag stack, ss gear sleeve, ss yoke, aluminum accurate frame(which will soon be topless), and 475 yards 80# braid. The reel works great and have caught quite a few tuna and sharks on it without any problems.

Looks nice with the custom handle. Where did you get that crank arm? I need a nice crank arm for my 112HN.

I got it from KETA or Lee as we all know him. I think it is a really well balanced arm and has a lot of cranking force with no give at heavy drag.

Man! :-\
I'm still waiting for my 114H arms. I can't wait to put Alan's 6/0 grips on them and post some pics. One is going on a 9/0. (same sleeve) patience is a virtue. I keep telling myself this. :P
