I have a customer who would like to go "Bulletproof" on his 12/0 and 14/0. What stainless upgrades are available and what is the cost? Also any links to parts would be appreciated.THANKS

If it were me, I would go with Daron's advice.  (Sharkhunter)

He is one of our experts on the big Penns.

He will give you a laundry list of possibilities -- then he will condense it down to a starting basic upgrade -- up to an everything possible modification.

If your client is paying for it -- he will likely opt for basic -- up through an addtional upgrade or two.

Otherwise he may get sticker shock.

Depends on the type of species targeted -- and also the expected end result balanced by $$$ outlay.

Show pics if it comes to fruition.

Best,
