Has anyone tried to convert a 113h red side plate to a open drag by enlarging the hole?
Most of the side plates available are the maroon ones.
I have a 113h with the half frame, it was converted to a yellow tail special.
The other question is it worth the trouble?

I have one if you want to swap.

I'd say it's not worth the trouble.
: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

I don't know why he wants it either, but if it's what he wants I'm happy to oblige. I need to keep my cover however.

Thanks for the responses, I guess I should of asked if there was any advantage to having an open drag? I'm just going to install my SS Sleeve and new 5/0 handle and call it good. Thanks.

There are reels with easy access drag system. No advatage with those, you should always try to break down your reel when servicing it.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.
