The fishing for halibut was good, 30 minute to land 8 fish from 40" to 50", we kept 4 nice butts. Here's a photo of the 2 largest, both caught on my 113H Tank.  The reel is up to the job, the fish on the left had a 40" fish on the second hook.

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

Very nice Lee.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Very nice Lee, looks like you had a great day out there.
Doesn't it give you great feelings fishing with a reel with some custom parts made by you?
By the way, is that the 4/0 that your friend carved for you?
Thanks for showing Lee, great job!

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Yes it is, thank you.

Out of box 113H aand 349 reels were popular in Alaska for butt. The SS gear sleeve, double SS dogs, narrow frame and 7+1 drag stack make the 113H Tank even better.   Next time I'll have the modified 114H on board.

It looks like a good time was had by all.  Lee, is that a special rod?  Some of the guides look like they are pointed in the wrong direction.  What do they call it, acid wrapped?

Yes, it is a acid wrap rod made by a good friend.

Good looking Butts.  I bet the reel was carved by your friend Sal.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
