PENN 114H GEAR SET. WHO WILL BE IN???

[Keta]

Will Alan get a SS gear sleeve made for the 114h?  

I have installed 3 of Allan's gear sleeves in 114H reels.

would rather probably prefer the original 2.8 to one, in stainless.

If you don't need the higher gear ratio the stock brass main gears run smoother.

I'll take 2... to start

On the 113h posting I mentioned wanting two sets for the 114h.

Lee, that's very true - that's what I'm running now - but would love to have stainless.  Maybe just a bling thing.  I'd like a 114H with a totally stainless gear train and sleeve, with the winching power it was designed with.  I don't think I'll ever be in a situation where anything I'm likely to catch will strip out a 114H's bronze gears. But stainless is so tempting...

But will still take a couple of the higher geared sets!

Simon, if you do a little research, you will find that Penn did have the 2.8:1 in stainless steel.
These have the 2.8:1 stock ss gears

Sal, those are some georgous anniversary reels. I love the frames with the red spools. Are you going to fish them or are they just eye candy?  Bob

[Alto Mare]

Thanks Bob! no not fishing those, they do have the ss dogs though...maybe one day.
Yes those red spools look sweet.
I believe 4 persons were involved with one of those red spools there: The seller, you for buying it , Dominick, for asking you if he could buy it from you so you could send it to me and me who received it .
that's what i call connections
Thanks again guys!

Every time I see those reels I have to wipe the drool from my lip. Really like the trim rings... Puts the reel into a class of its own!
You're definitely connected... You might be the reincarnation of Otto hence;)
Sweet stuff,
Dom

Sal, Where did you get the red trim rings? Did you get them painted/coated? Bob

[Alto Mare]

Hey Bob, those are powder coated.  Check with Jamie ( Broschro ).

Sal, that's just not fair!  It's almost cruel!
They are really beautiful...
Thanks for sharing.  And I didn't know that Penn did 2.8:1 in stainless.  Thanks for the info.

Simon, Penn put the ss gears in their anniversary reels in the 80's. Somewhere sal posted a catalog pic. It clearly said stainless steel gears. I don't remember which post. Bob

[shellbank99]

I am in for a set of both.
