Where is Halibut still open ? We get  about 4 or 5 three day weekends worth in the Straits and Puget Sound, and they just closed our Puget Sound hatchery Chinook fishery......

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

By the way, NICE FISH, there's some good fish n chips there,  ;D  might I recommend the " baked" recipe in the recipe section  ;D, My 113h's would be light armoured vehicles cause I only have one stainless dog, I gave up on trying to carve the side plates for now.

Congrats on those flatties!  The seas look like glass, too. Must have thought you were fishing in a big pond. Hopefully, I'll have a similar report this time next month after my trip to Craig, AK. I'll be using a two speed on a spiral wrapped that I built.

Way to go Lee!!.  BTW, did you say a 7+1 drag stack.  I must have missed that portion on the "Tank" series.  Anyone mind pointing me to it.

G'day Leo,
This was George's idea (for a 114H initially), here: http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=4627.0
Cheers, Justin

That is sweet mate!   Great satisfaction using gear that yourself has added additional engineering too.

Lee, did you or anyone else try out one of your 349's?  Again, nice catch.

Actually, I have modified my 349HC so that it now has the 7+1.  I've been meaning to post images and measure the drag but haven't gotten around to it (campaigning and also got another lathe and trying to get it operational).  Will post when I can.
I used to be in a constant state of improvement.  Now I'm in a constant state of renovation.

If we get another all depth halibut day this year my plan is to test out one of my 349H 7+1 reels, the one with the Newell aluminum spool.

Just don't forget what me and you have been discussing about that reel. It's not just about gears and a 1+7 drag stack, other things need to be considered.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

My deep (500'-700') halibut reels are filled with 65lb Spectra with 10' 50lb topshots.  I'm going for smooth over strong.  

Last night I took apart the 113H to see how it looked after the first fish, the .020" CF washers looked like new.

Sal and Lee,
I gotta ask, is there anything we 349 users need to know, or consider, about these reels?
