Need opinions on which reel to buy or build...YTS

[Ron Jones]

I am waiting, not so patiently, for Alan to get his gears sorted out for a 501 build. With the larger spool of the 112H, I am OK with a steel Penn 4:1 gear, I have one in my Tuna Special and it is my favorite reel. If I was building a dedicated 112HN for jigging then the BP gears would be the way to go.

Doc, if I were you I'd sit on it for awhile. If you see a set of gears on the bay then go for it. I think that Alan C may have a resolve in the not to distant future. Those gears when up to par are going to be hands down superior. Just a thought.

Good advice. I'll follow it; after all I don't expect to be fishing for a few months.
