My Apologies

They go well with stock plates, don"t they?
I'm gonna love these.
Ron

These are super for the stock red plates!  I received my set from Ted and these are the cats' pajamas! The reel just feels so much beefier, yet no added weight.
These are Newell x 2 IMHO. 

I have (3) 113h and they all have Ted's bars. Turned humdrum reels into good looking set ups.  The fish will bypass other lines, just to get caught by the 'Top Kat' reel. Ted guarantees it.

Sweet!

Aiala says "bodacious." Aiala you must have learned that word from your father. You can't be that old.

Well, I'm not going on 102 like he is, but still... 

Ted's bars really are the bee's knees, tho'!

Aiala, your dad must be a WWII veteran ?? You are one lucky lady to have him around and I hope he goes another 50.   God bless him !!

  you are a bad influence  ...what can I say, I had the same parts just laying around and had to have one like yours. I added the red clamp so you get a sneak peek at what yours will look like in a couple days when the clamp arrives.


  The narrow kit with matching seat is no slouch. Hope to have a few in the near future.

That looks fabulous Ted!

Ted, thanks for the kind words. Dad's target is actually 120, which is how long Moses lived. I wouldn't bet against him!    And yes, he served as a line officer in the South Pacific during the war, aboard an old WWI destroyer-minesweeper that served as inspiration for his fictional Caine.

How cool is that... Twins! And with a true reel Sensei, no less!

Thank you Ted - what a class act!

Ted saw that I needed 113h cross bars and offered me a set at a great price.  Beautiful work, I haven't mounted them yet but finish and design were great.  Next thing I know I get a message that there is a matching clamp on the way UNBELIEVABLE but wait - if you buy today you get .......  no not a second set of Ginzu knives but Ted was nice enough to throw a stock seat in my bag as well.  I truly hate owing people so now I gotta figure out a way to make things even.  Thanks Ted, great work, great part and great guy.

[David Hall]

Pay it forward JRD thats how it's done.

I'm waiting on some side plates in the mail that I picked up on the auction site. If they turn out to be nice, do you have more bars and/or reel seats for sale?

 The narrow seats were prototypes and only a few were made. More will be around soon.

 I do have standard width red bars with matching clamp as pictured in this thread. You'll need a stock Penn 113 seat. Here are those bars on accurate side plates, and Cortez side plates.

Well the good news is the plates I bought look very nice. The bad news is I didn't look close enough and they are the old style with the drag stack accessible from the outside.  They will work great to restore my dads old 113h that has seen better days. Do you have silver bars? Not sure these old plates are worth the upgrade but I would still like to have a set of bars on hand if I find some newer plates.

No silver at the moment. That will change soon.

Nothing wrong with external drags. I think the big top hat makes a smoother drag. All that chrome would match the silver bars fantastically.
