I'm building a 113h and I'm going to put a narrow frame on it. I can get a REALLY good deal on a frame but I doesn't have a spool. I read on an old post that you can use a spool from a longbeach 66 in a narrow 113h. This is the post I read http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=4578.0;wap2
Or will it only work in a 113 non H due to the the 113h having bearings

You can use a 66 spool in a 113 (black side plate) with a narrow frame. If you use the 66 guts then you have a "Grouper Special," a reel designed on this board a couple years ago. If you have a 113H then you must have a Yellowtail Special spool. Both are awesome reels and well worth the investment to make. The vast majority of people want a YTS.

Yup, the 66 spool fits a 113, not a 113H.  

One of the projects that I want to finish is my "Grouper Special".  I just cut a bunch of .025" drag washers for it out of hardened titanium.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

As soon as I know they will work.  I'll test them in a Surfmaster.

Well I thought I was going to be able to get out of this project a little cheaper lol. But I should know by now that there is no such thing. Oh well I'll just keep my eyes peeled for a narrow spool. But that grouper special does sound interesting

Stock 113 bridge and gears 2:1, 66 bridge and gears 2.5:1.  I have a fixture to mill the hole in the side plate to center the 66 gearsleeve and make it look nicer.

Boy that sounds like one sloooooow reel. But I guess that's what you need for those big grouper

Someone that tinkers with reels and lives in a small village in Alaska donated some material.
