114H WEX Frame

[Shark Hunter]

Randy provided me with a unique specimen this week. A P60 WEX Frame in Ice Blue.
These have been discontinued for a while, but they are really a niche market.
You can make a 114H wider than a 9/0, just add a few goodies and dollars.
I went Black and Blue on this one. Rare 114H Black plates on a pretty unique frame.
I normally do a handle upgrade, but the stock one just felt right.
Thank You Randy, You are the Man!

It's time for Tom to make some 114H plates!

Beast mode!  Love it!

[Shark Hunter]

Good Lord,
I hope not Rudy,
I would be in the poor house.
I love the 114H.
It is a great reel, especially when you can turn it into something like this.
I have four of these WEX kits now. Silver, Red, Purple and Blue.
Just the frame and spool kit is $200. Once you add an insert kit, BP Gears, ss sleeve, dogs, and Handle upgrade plus the price of the donor reel, you are in for 5 Hundred minimum per piece.
I really believe this is the most compact and powerful Senator you can build that is up for some Giants.
50lbs of drag in a reel that weighs less than a 9/0.
A labor of love, if you have deep enough pockets.

Daron, I've got five H's & HLW's that need side plates. I guess we can both get in the soup line.

Beautiful color combo D!
The black goes so well with the ice blue kit. Hmmm....one of Alan's delrin grips w/ an SS handle might go even better with it. Did you do any hot rodding inside?

Aloha,
Kyle

[Shark Hunter]

No Hot rodding yet on this one Kyle.
I just wanted to see how it looked.
The black plates look brand new, so do the insides.

That is really sweet, that would be a beast w/ 80 lb mono from the party boats.  Yet again another sweet reel Daron.

Thats a really good looking combo Daron...what would it take to get a photo of all four colors... .....Bill

[Shark Hunter]

Here you go Bill,
I only have the silver one spooled with 80lb.
It has all the groceries.

I think I'd put the purple frame with the black plates. Purple/red doesn't work for me, of course the fish don't care!

[Shark Hunter]

114H Black Plates are hard to come by.
I only did the Black and Blue theme as a suggestion from Randy.
Truth be told, all four of these Monsters will probably end up with red plates in the end.
I am just lucky to find these Frames in Purple and Blue.
When they first came out, The only options were silver, red and black.
It is always a surprise when things like these turn up.
Its not like you are ordering a complete reel in the colors you desire.
You have to take it as you get it.

Daron thanks for the group picture....they are a really good looking set....you could fish several lifetimes and never wear them out......Bill

[alantani]

Is that the elusive Butterscotch Handle on the black plated 6/0?
