9/0 Build

[Shark Hunter]

I have been wrapping my reels in shirts for a while Dominick.
I'm upgrading.
Now back to Thor's awesome build before I get scolded again.

I think that I misread your post. "You said that you were wrapping your reels with Dominick's Shirts". Did I get that right??

Sal, are those rings powder coated? Kind of looks like The Tank.

Yes Thor, those are the same as the Tank. Jamie did a bunch for me a while back.
Here is where he first posted about it:

The Tank has been on a few fishing trips, Dominick usually sends it back for me afterwards so I could take a look.
The powder coated rings still look the same as the day I installed them.

That's because I make sure not to bang the Tank around.  I wrap the reel in my shirt  so don't complain about me being shirtless. Dominick

Thanks Domonick!! Any chance you have his email? e is showing as guest. i was going to get new rings but looks like for a few more bucks i could powder coat in black which would look pretty good i think.

Yes Mike,
You are correct.

. I think I recall the inserts tested out somewhere north of 75lbs, I won't need that but I think SS will top aluminum arm in this set-up.

Just a stress test on parts.

I'll bet you won't find a 6/0 or 9/0 Senator as smooth the customized ones we have here, when pushed at 35 lbs.
It's all about smoothness at high drag settings.
