Has anyone got photos

[el greco]

Hi people saw photos of 113h metal also heard they made 114 metal does anyone have pictures does this reel  exists  or just a myth  thanks

The 113MTL was made for only a few years, and the 114MTL, while announced, never saw the light of day. The 113MTL was actually a good reel -- lots of drag, good free spool, 4.2:1 gears, etc. -- but more of a tank than most people would want for a single speed reel. It was discontinued when Penn moved all of its under $250 reel to China. You can find them fairly frequently on eBay. You'll like it if you want a full size, heavy 4/0 but be forewarned: Penn has already stopped supply many parts for it.

good find!

[CapeFish]

Wow this is an impressive reel, never new they existed. Will they ever make something like this again or is it too expensive?

[ShoreKasterHI]

Does anybody know if the handle or gears fit on a 113h?

[broadway]

Neither one will fit.

When these were discontinued, Charkbait clearanced them out for $125 until they were gone.... and foolish me didn't buy any because they were heavy...

[Bryan Young]

Yeah, I found 4 at $120 minus 20% clearance discount.  Was going to buy them since Dom recommended them, and though, what am I going to do with these reels...Same thing with the American Made 114Hs that I found...$120 minus 20% clearance as well 2 weeks later.  Arg... in hind sight, I should have bought them and just sold it to you guys.

Thanks for the photo guys thats a absolutely a beast of an reel i wonder if any made it down under just imagined if they made it in a  9/0 size ha ha . What was the weight difference between the 113h and 113mtl wouldn't be that much  just a extra session at the gym  lol cheers 

[Alto Mare]

I don't know about the weight difference, but I do know that some don't mind the weight. I personally believe that having  heavy gear while fishing on a fighting chair gives you a better chance. You want to talk about weight? Just the gears with drags on a 16/0 Senator weigh 1 lb, the reel weights 11lb without line. Some of these reels are still fished today, not bad for a 80 years old reel. For dependability, easy maintenance and strenght, no one has come close to it yet. Sorry, I got sidetracked .

The handle for the 113MTL, still available, is a low cost upgrade for the 113H( and the 45GLS and its variants) I tried it and since have installed 4 of them, I bought the 113MTL for $119 from Charkbait, should have bought 4 of them. Also the 113HN were sold for $139, should have bought 10!

[akfish]

I didn't realize that: So the standard 113MTL handle fits without modification on a 113H?

[intili]

slides right on!

[broadway]

    It might slide on, but is it the right fit? The reason I ask is it's a totally different gear sleeve and handle model # and size.
