Post by: sharkman on October 25, 2016, 01:18:04 AM
Found this reel on let go for 20 bucks. Don't know whether to fish or put on shelf.

Cool beans brother.....add carbon fiber drags and fish it....the 112H is my favorite reel and will put a lot of fish in the bag...later add a stainless steel sleeve, double dogs, handle upgrade, aluminum spool and a tiburon frame it just gets better....Bill

Nice find. A 112h is a 3/0, not a 4/0.

That's purdy. Fish it then shelve it until the next fishing day then fish it then shelve it and repeat.

The reel pictured is a 113H, thus a 4/0.

Thanks everyone for comments.  Anyone have idea how old the reel maybe? The inside looked as good as outside. Just serviced and put back together, now it is ready to fish.

It has the outside-accessible drag stack, which would indicate that it's an older model, but as to its precise age, I couldn't say. Very nice reel, though! Definitely a steal for only twenty bucks.  :)

The sideplate says 112H... right?  Looks like an old 4/0 though.

Maroon side plates and external drag access would date it between 1964 and 1985.
