Parts Reel

[Wompus Cat]

Old 113H rework using refurbished JVARIANCE  Corroded FRAME and Stock Side Plates I bought from Ryan W.
a while back .
It was just going to be a reel to use and abuse because of the corrosion and faded color BUT
it was too cold outside to do anything sooooooooooooo I piddled around for a few days sanding and sanding and more sanding then Polishing and Painting and hunting for enough spares to assemble this .

Looks great. Will this one be a shelfie? Thinkin bout the anodizing on the frame being gone.
Any opinions on the Jvarience frame vs other aluminum frames?

I clear coated the Frame to help for corrosion but it was corroded in the first place with the anodizing ?

This is a Narrowed Frame and Spool .
This Frame SEEMS to have more MEAT in the base and a wide 4 screw Foot also you can put slightly longer screws in the bottom three on both sides . Some subtle differences in the shapes of the openings from a Accuframe and no Holes in the Bottom where Accuframes have.
Have not compared to the Tiburon yet except the Foot (4 Screw) is the same )


That neat looking Handle I got from Ted and  it is Stainless .
I put stock Gears and Carbon Drags in it .

Don't know if I will fish it IF I  ever get back  to the Coast but I do have a Few others to use instead .

EXCELLENT work, Henry —

You have amazing skills and vision about how a reel could/should be saved from the dumpster.

Best, Fred

Sweet work, Henry! Nice handle; regrettably I think Adam has departed the custom parts manufacturing sector. He made great stuff.

Yes sir thats a nice job. I'm sure with a little rinse and dry the frame will be fine.
