My reborn twins

Dan, you got a couple of beauties there!
Those handle blanks look longer, are they?  
Sal, what's a super cm ( I must've missed a thread)?
Thanks

Dan,

Beautiful reels, I take it the only stock/factory parts are: handle nut and screw, star wheel, bridge, yoke springs, and harness lugs; is that correct?  Where did you get the reel covers and will they fit the 113HN, or is there a seperate one for the 113HN?

Thanx,

Leo

Here you go Dom:

When I assembled my custom 9/0 with that nice Accurate frame that you sent me(Thanks again), The knob looked sweet but the handle was kind of small for that beast. I contacted Mr Nguyen and told him what I was looking for and he told me that he would make it for me,  he does some great work. By the way, that 9/0 is now one of my favorite out of all of my reel... but I only have a few  .

You da man, Sal!
I do love that handle just not fond of that price tag
Does he ever make them in red (grip only)?
Thanks for the link,
Dom

Hi Dom, they are longer, the hole they are in now (see pic) is the longest hole on the 24-349H stock handle that came with the reel, as you can see it has another hole to make it even longer yet, but these are 113h hole pattern and not the super sized 114h that Sal mentioned, those are huge, something like 5 inches long and I will get one of those too as soon as my 6/0 tank is put back together. Above is Tong Ngyuen's e-mail, he makes a nice polished stainless steel handle blank for 17 bucks, probably a little more for the 6/0-9/0, but hard to beat that price, and he's a nice guy to boot

Some are selling just the knob for over $30. Get one, if you don't like it just send it to me and I will buy it from you . The picture doesn't do it justice, you need to hold it. By the way, I just purchased 3 more, you better harry .

I guess I better reserve one before Sal gets them all and holds us hostage

The 3 that I just purchased are the Super C M and the t knob is the smaller one, 3.5". I will be using those on my 6/0's, I thought they would give a nice look. The 9/0 has the 4.25" t knob and looks awesome.

Hey Sal, I talked to Tong today, I took it upon myself to invite him to join the forum, sure can't hurt us or him. As we used to say in South Philly, he's a good egg

Good call Dan - sounds like he'll be an asset to the site.
Cheers, Justin

Nothing like bringing a machinist to the site... now you're thinking
The more the merrier,
Dom

[Alto Mare]

Yes it would be great having him here. I never had a conversation with him, just emails. He's a clean business man, everything is on the up and up. I gave him lots of referrals, not to try to get anything back, just to bring him more business...he deserves it.
