.  DayOne, I hope I didn't step on your toes.

Not at all. Glad you had a picture of the Tiburon clamps. I couldn't find a good picture. I really like those clamps. Another thought is the Shimano TLD clamps. They fit the Penns also. I've also gotten very good deals on the Okuma clamp sets. Under $10 for the whole set and they are the same size as the Shimano sets

i found a black accurate clamp and the holes (center to center) are 1.375 inches apart, or 1 and 3/8ths inches.  i'm certain in can find bolts as well, in 1/4-20.  looks like a "no go" for your reel.  if anyone else wants this, let me know.  alan
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

Yes, the Tiburon clamps are nice.  I didn't include a photo of the Tib 6/0 clamp, but it is almost identical in size to the Albacore Special clamp.

Tom, you say your Accurate 113h frame has a bolt spacing of 1-1/2"?  I have most of the Penn clamps and I don't think any of them will fit without some modification.

Again I want to thank all of you guys for responding.  And George has really done an excellent job researching this.  I have a Baja 113hn and you are right the bolts are a perfect fit.  Right now is a search for the correct rod clamp.  George, you questioned my measurement of the 113h spacing and again you are right.  The hole to hole spacing is the same for both reals at 1 5/8".  I will let you know what my final solution is but I want to thank you all for taking the time to try to help a fellow angler.  I's hard to believe I am interacting with Alan, Sal, Dayone and George.  ;)

Yeah, it's irritating when you buy a reel and the rod clamp is missing. It means you may have to shell out more money for one, and then that great deal you found on ebay doesn't look so good. Unless they have been lost, there's no reason not to include them with the reel.   

Those graphite clamps DO look pretty good on the Accurate and Tib frames and I wouldn't hesitate to use them in a pinch. Tom, I would never have experimented with them if you didn't start this post. Thanks!
