Looks like a 'Shark Hunter Special' to me.  This os only the second one I have seen surface.. then again it may be the same reel.  Tuscon is not terribly far from TX.
Hope springs eternal
for the consumate fishermen.

Modifying 2-14/0 reels, welding the spools makes it worth 2000?
Going to have to start a new career.

Just reel and line weighs well over 20#......no thank you !!

$2 grand is better spent on a shark special 20/0 Everol IMO

Looks like a $2000 paper weight for really big paper, nice conversation piece for the fisherman that has everything.
Do what you can with that you have where you are

I guess these may impress some folks --

Like breeding a German Shepherd with a Chihuahua -- possible, but freaky and weird.

For me though -- just WBS's.

Wanna-Be Specials  for novices or showoffs -- not capable, practical, or realistic for any real fisherman.

IMHO...

My 20/0 isn't that wide, but I bet the frame won't twist under a heavy load. ;)

It holds two miles of line!  It is my opinion if the fish can take a mile and a half of line, then it deserves to go free.  I'd like to bet there is some wicked frame twist, probably enough to stop the spool and have the line snap.

That is a matter of opinion Bill. ;)
Personally, I would not waste my money on this abomination.
