One for 14/0

Picked up some parts from the cutter, and have a full kit for the 14/0 together. Still waiting on the 12/0 insert from the cutter, but I expect to have both kits in Daron's reels before his next fishing trip. Cant wait to see the results, but Im confident the performance will be exceptional.

Good Work Adam!

Nice!

Oh wow!!! I didn't see this latest. Adam, they look amazing I wonder how much I could pull with one of those. The big senators should feel silky smooth at 40#, you could probably smoke a cigar as reel in a monster

.
Very nice job!.

Very cool!

The Big Boys came today! I am impressed Adam. I will be slapping these in my ss sleeved 12 and 14/0 this weekend.
I am waiting for the new run of 113H gears from Black Pearl for my 113H insert.
113H, 114H/9/0, 12/0 and 14/0 inserts from Adam.

Isnt that how they did it in the old days with these reels anyways?

Looking forward to seeing the testing, and hopefully some sharks on the sand too. Best of luck on your trip, Daron.

Getting my 12/0 ready for battle with all the latest upgrades.
This is a prototype. I have some fitting to do.
I managed to fit eight of these drag washers in the insert. More then enough to rip this reel off the stand or pull me into the abyss.
I made a custom Delrin under gear and one on top the same size as the washers.
This was no easy task, but I managed to get it done. At the lowest drag setting, this reel is pulling at least 10 lbs. I will treat this one with the utmost respect. I realize its power.
Spooled with 1000 yards of 100 lb Bullbuster Mono. This is a 12/0 like no other.
Tom Hyrinuk prototype ss sleeve, Adam's prototype insert and Shark Handle. Lee's double ss dogs and a set of stainless posts. Bolted to a Calstar Baby Boomer Berserker Rod.

Daron keep me posted I can't wait for these to be available I had 200lb test broke on a bridge Saturday night using half a aj because I couldn't put enough drag on the 14/0 with this upgrade I know I'll turn them haha

Wow this high tech stuff is amazing. How exactly did you get the remotes to control the drags.

Can't wait to hear how they work out.

You sure keep pretty reels Daron.

Thanks Randy. I'll keep you posted on these Brandon. I am actually a little scared of this reel. I know I can handle a stock 12/0 on full lockdown, but this one can handle some crazy drag numbers.
I will need to definitely control myself if I hook into something that needs the star cranked down.
I only have this coming weekend to get the 14/0 ready, I splurged for the ss posts mod on the 14 and 16/0. I will definitely keep a knife ready if I get in over my head.
Wish me luck guys. I feel good about this one.

All you have to pack is Water Skies & you are ready to go.

That's not the kind of luck I need Mike.
