9/0 Frame Kit

[Topshot]

I'm finally done! Here's my poor abused 9/0, brought back from the grave and all dressed up in a fabulous couture frame and ready to take me fishing next summer... hurrah!

What made you decide to backwards mount the frame??

Looks good to me Aiala!
I'm thinking of doing mine this way too.

Well, after sleeping on it, and reflecting upon what a dingbat I am ( ) I concluded that the guys were correct, and the frame was on backwards. So, I reversed it and now all is as it should be.

I think I know why I got mixed up: I have a Tiburon T4W frame for my 113HLW, and it has the lower bar profile, but unlike the Dom/Tom frame, on both ends. Well, I failed to notice that, and erroneously followed suit and oriented my new frame with the low bar in front... DUUHHHHHH!! 

Still, this isn't the first time I've managed to end up backwards, upside-down, inside-out, or all three. As the saying goes, "Live and Learn"; (or in my case, don't). Whatever, it's all good!

I think it looks awesome with the low bar upfront. I was thinking of doing mine that way.

Glad to be of help, Dominick!

I almost put mine together the same way, too.

Ya know I was thinking. If you have a tall enough stripper guide on your rod then you wouldn't have any problems with line touching the fore grip or your fingers. I really do like the reverse mount look.

A Winthrop roller guide rod is in order here. It keeps the line high.

Aiala, I like the look!  The only reason I won't copy you is that I don't want the high bar in the back to get in the way of applying a little thumb to the spool, especially during the fight.

Dom, I received mine today.  I'm writing the check now.  Thanks so much.  It really is a beautiful piece of work.  And so light!!

[Legal Bill]

Just finished the change over.  Great product.  You guys should be proud.

[Shark Hunter]

What? No Picture?
Come on Bill.

On my way to the airport now... take care crew!
