When I release a Shark and all is going well, I chant this stupid song! It gets me pumped up!

I got it from my work, I eat a peanut butter and jelly every day!

Where he at, Where he at, There he go, There he go!

Omigosh, the frames are simply bodacious! I hope I can get one of the silver ones...

I'm going with a black frame. I'm getting all the chrome parts powder coated gloss black to match the frame. It's gonna be one bad #### blacked out reel

Mr. Shark, I know! Now all I need is a 9/0; luckily there's one for auction today on eBay that I'm determined to win... I hope... <fingers crossed>.

Just don't pay too much. $110 is my Max and that's only if it is pristine with the rod clamp and brace.
Stay away from the three piece spool too. You want a one piece spool, Chromed bronze or aluminum, with bearings.

Aiala · January 18, 2014, 07:34:04 PM

I'm going to try $100. I like the aluminum spool because of weight considerations, but this particular 15L doesn't have bearings... hmm.

If its an Aluminum spool, it has bearings. That spool won't fit a bushing model. The handle side will show a definite ball bearing and the right side is adjustable with a bearing inside.

Are you guys still going to use the rod braces?
does the new frame even accommodate them?
and are they still even "needed" with the new frame?

my 9/0 doesn't have them anyway...so I'm just asking....

Ahem... allow me to Bump this question again...

You don't miss a trick, Do you Erik.

After evaluating the pictures, I think this is how its going to work. The harness lugs are sandwiched in between the rings in the plates. On page 3, Dom says the inner trim rings are still needed, so I think we are good.

The very front holes will accommodate the rod brace lugs and the one post we use on top will accommodate the other set for clamping to the fighting belt!
