My Own Tank!

[Shark Hunter]

Sal's post has gone the way side, so I thought I'd show you guys my own. Following Sal's lead, as usual. I tried to leave a little more meat on the plate and shave the dog a bit. It still looks the same.
Special Thanks to Alan Tani for the great site, and the great deal on the Tank kit and Sleeve with dogs, Sal for his inspiration and ingenuity, Dawn from smooth Drag, Keta for being there, Bryan for being the utmost, Alan C. for making these Awesome! Gears, and Dominick, just for being Dominick!

Finally got all the parts together. I should be working on my motorcycle or boat, but I can't help myself.

Man, those Black pearl gears look nice!Look out Dom, I'm going for a big Shark with this one!

My first time at double dogging. I think I did OK.


Ready for the frame, almost done.

Finished Product! Thanks Everyone!

[Shark Hunter]

Thanks!
Lots to be learned here! Just an example! I couldn't have done it without everyone's help on here, I am sure I left a lot of people out, Forgive me! George comes to mind, and lets not forget John!
Thanks to everybody else I forgot!

Nice.  Mine is probably my favorite Penn, light and strong.

Beautiful reel. Love the new Tib frames without the inner ring needed. Thanks for posting.

Nice work. Hope you get to test it on the big blue water soon.

Way to go buddy, ain't no stopping you now .
Make sure everything is working as it should, free spool and all. It look like you took 3/16 of an inch from the reel by not installing the inner rings. You'll probably get away with it, but I would install them if I were you.
That kit is just as good as the later models from Tiburon, on that particular kit you will need the inner rings.
Good job on the grinding .

Sal, I didn't even notice that the frame was supposed to have the inner rings! SH, how did that spool fit up? I guess it's only the width of two inner rings that can be taken up or in this case let out by the left bearing? So why is the inner ring on this type frame even needed?

Very nice!  Do the dogs engage simultaneously?

[Bryan Young]

That's the way to do it.  Nice work and thanks for sharing the passion. 

Are the dogs latching in alternatively or simultaneously?

[Dominick]

Hey Sharkey, draft another post and say "the last photo was just a test. I was waiting for the new rings to come in the mail."  I also noticed that you had Chapstick on the bench, do you use it to lubricate knots?  BTW nice job.  Dominick

The chapstick is just for my lips Dom.
The Dogs are engaging simultaneously.
Sal, I didn't even realize I needed the inner rings on this. I thought the spool was a little to the right. I backed off the right bearing some. I will put them on to get that bearing back in.
Still looking for a stainless arm for my P-60. I sent jigging world a message.
I wish fishing reel 079 had the same handle for the 114H. He says he has none.

Hold up on the rings, I got just the ones you need. Let me know about that handle, do you want the 4 1/4" knob or 3 1/4"?
Silver or Black. Get back to me and I'll put one in the mail, You could send one back to me whenever you get it...no hurry.

Dominick, You don't need chapstick. Just walk out in the pasture and stick your finger in a fresh cow pie. Then rub it on your lips. It doesn't do anything for them, but it keeps you from licking them.  Bob
