12/0 Double Dog,SS Sleeve

Shark Hunter · April 20, 2014, 07:31:43 AM

I have been putting off this build, But instead of mowing the Grass, It is Time!
This one is Special, its a SS Sleeve from Tom Hyrinuk and it is my first 12/0 that I caught a 7' Blacktip on last September.
Got the Stack layed out, New ss sleeve with Steel gear on the Bridge.
Classic Chrome spool, ready to finish this epic build.
Keeping it real. I put the giant 14/0 amber handle on this Beast~
I am ready!

Wow, off-the-chart Beast Factor! Too bad there isn't a 12/0 Dom/Tom frame to dress it up.

Awesome stuff here, love the way you guys are modifying these old classics.

Inspiring me to look through the dozens of old reels we have. Nothing bigger that a 6/0 for the star drag penns for me but love lookng at these pics.

Keep them coming!

Nice, Are you using the over length AR dogs or did you shorten them?

I was going to Shorten them Lee, but I don't think it will create a problem. When I first got them, Sal said they would be fine. Lying then side by side. The difference is minimal. With the extra teeth on this ratchet. The dog engagement is perfect!

OK, I will keep the drawing then.
