I made a prototype drag star out of 316 stainless steel today. Overall diameter is 3", vs 2.5" for the original 113h one.  This one is tapped for the 1/2" diameter gear sleeve, I am still waiting on the tap for the smaller ones to arrive. 

Im looking for opinions on the design and size of these. I can make practically any design and size.

The second photo is comparing it to the original.

Good job man! I'm a fan of the design of those aluminum ones you can buy on ebay

I'll post it after I receive the tap and confirm the size.

The 1/2" diameter gear sleeve on my 113h is 1/2-32.

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

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

I'll have the pricing info up by Thursday, I'm just looking to get a little more feedback before I cut a batch of them.

Any way you could also make some as the shape I'm showing?

First two are 2.5", and the third one is the second scaled to 3". I can scale it to 2.75" just as easily.  Like the design, or should I make changes?

I'm to open to any additional designs, and I can make as many different styles as there is interest for, including special designs.

Looks good, I like the one in the middle best, it has less meat around the hole, the less there the better.
