114h T60XN the Red Grouper

[CooldadE]

I have yet to fish my T60XN. Mine is silver frame, black spool and red side plates... I also have the 3/0 and 4/0 XN reels in same colors... I've fished both of those and they preformed as you would expect. Caught my first Yellow tail on the 4/0 XN... a 25# fish.


Cool

WOW! That is one gorgeous red reel. Hope to see the finished product soon. Any luck finding a reinforced eccentric jack?

thanks amigo, I found one used but in great shape a reinforced eccentric jack on my miscellaneous parts box while looking for some screws of different sizes for another reel, the 114h eccentric jack was dirty but it cleaned up really good and I used the buffer wheel a bit with the dremel to give it some shine

Great looking reel, enjoy the project!
I also prefer the black/red side plates/rings.

Hope you don't ever intend to take it on a Panga

why? 

nothing wrong with the Pangas to get to the fish

Well if you look at my tackle that I take to sea on similar size boats, the reels are scratched and dinged.   The rods are repaired from someone sitting or falling on top of them or high sticking.   Small boat fishing here is fairly rough stuff.    Maybe you fish in a bit more protected waters?

same deal here, panga boats are rough with fishing gear, sometimes they dont have enough rod holders so your expensive fishing rod and reel are there jumping and bumping against each other or the panga rails, but it what it is, after all fishing reels are nothing but weapons to get the fish, right?

I must admit that some old and unique reels deserve to spend their time on the shelf but this one 114h dont belong to the shelf

No sir. The reel is merely an instrument.

I am the weapon.
