Can you guess what this is?

What has a 112h stand, posts, spool, drag, and a 500 handle?

[RowdyW]

According to Penn a 112H spool only fits a 112H.

Hmmm...

Its not a Lawerance, or Langley.

Looks like a newer long Beach 267

My guess is a modified Seaboy 190. They were decent bottom fishing reels--on the lighter side--but could only be pushed so far due to the graphite sideplates-and-posts configuration.

A 190 Seaboy has a spool with a marking on the end 112. But it does not fit a 112H. The aluminum spool will fit a Longbeach 65.

Could it be a Penn that was not released in the USA that fits the 112H spool size? Whatever it is, it looks pretty cool to me.

You guessed it!


and this is the spool that came with it stock.

It had one of the old X shaped stands, but no holes for a clamp. Took the stand off a 210 and had a 500 handle spare.

I was surprised the 112h only had a 4 screw stand. My 3/0 black Senators have 6 screw stands.

That was fun

I always forget about that SeaBoy.

[RowdyW]

If you try that spool in a 112h it will not fit. Been there & tried that. That number is just a mold number not what it fits. And the stand is from a LB 66 on a 112H. The posts are the same though. It was guessed with the wrong information.

Good to know the slighly beefier 30-66 stand is a direct replacement.

It's been a long while since I've fished or worked on any of the Seaboys, but the sideplates and somewhat circular molding for the bridge plate in your photo looked familar..

Sorry about that Rowdy. My bad. Thanks for the correct info. I`m learning all the time.

The 112H,65,190 all have the same spool; it is just that the steel shaft in the middle is different on the 112H. That is a "mid speed 112H." With the new SS 66 stand it should be quite a reel. I've seen all sorts of gear ratios on the sides of these, not sure what gears they use but 3.5 would be about perfect for pulling a scampi across the bottom.

SO if the steel shaft is different it don't fit. That means it doesn't fit a 112H. Like I said it will fit a LB 65 ONLY besides the 190 seaboy 1990 & newer. A 113 spool won't fit a 113H because the shaft is different, so does that mean they are the same?? How about trying to put a 114 spool in a 114H? Same spool but it doesn't fit so I would say they are not the same. And as far as gear ratios every reel that's talked about on this forum has the wrong ratio according to you. Just buy a reel with the ratio you want & you won't have to wish anymore for the perfect reel. Or design your own & build it.
