Some special reels

[Cone]

Really these reels are only special to me. They aren't the latest high tech super reels that everyone drools over. Each one is special because there is something in each one from my friends here. Money can't buy friends or these.



The above photo is a 114h with ss gears, double ss dogs, Tib frame and a power handle. The lower reel is a 113hw with a Tib frame, ebay 4:1 ss gears, double ss dogs and a different handle.





This is a 9500ss I bought. It now has a new power handle and almost impossible to find brass gears inside. It soon will have a ss 12 tooth ratchet and ss dogs.



The top reel is just one I put together with parts for my son for Christmas. It has double ss dogs. The lower 113h has Penn ss gears and double ss dogs.

       I wanted to thank Lee (Keta) for the excellent ss dogs he has made available to us, Redsetta (Justin) for the dogs and ratchet but especially Sal (Alto Mare). Besides sharing his knowledge and help, Sal also sent the 113h wide spool, brass gears for the 9500ss and handles for the 9500ss, 114h and 113h. Thanks to Alan for this wonderful site and the parts he makes available. I consider myself lucky to have discovered this site and made new friends.  I wish you all the best and if I can help anyone out with a project I will if I'm able.   Bob

Thanks for the picture gallery...

Not everyone could appreciate those reels, but certainly most of us here could!

Ditto your sentiments for this site....

Terrific Bob.  There is something you can do for me.  Please post photos of your alligator hunt, like the one in your avatar.  Dominick

Dominick, I'll try to put some up tomorrow. Bob

Dominick, I asked Sal to come and get his own gator. I know its hard for him with his exspenses. The same offer goes to you. No guarantees of a gator but I know you'd enjoy yourself. Talk Sal into it and we got a Hunt!    Bob

Nice reels Bob .
Boy, it would be something having Dominick on that boat.
Thanks for sharing buddy.

Guys, Bob makes it very hard to get even with him, along with many others  here.

Very nice! All of those are a favorite of mine. That 12 tooth stainless ratchet and stainless dogs will make that anti-reverse indestructable!

Sorry, I got carryed away Sal. That is a nice handle too. I have seen plenty of those on eBay. I love those reels, they never fail. The 9500 has that nice big HT-100 under the spool and it is sealed like the Slammer, another great plus.
