Picked me up a 6/0. I ordered a drag kit for one of these by Mistake. Sounds like a good enough reason to me! ;) I'm a sucker for a red handle.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this, I have several reels I got this way.
I have been looking for one for quite some time. Usually is this shape, they are asking about a hundred.
I got this one for $54 shipped! Good things come to those who wait! ;)
My 114 was a strange acquire. My wife called from an estate sale and asked me if I was looking for a Penn 144 (she honestly thinks there is something like too many reels) and I said there was no such reel. She looked again (her eyes are worse than mine) and said I was wrong and what did I think it was worth. I said offer them $20 for it and they took it....she brought home a little used 114 with the marlin on the side plate.
I picked up a 113 in very good shape when a customer dropped some reels of to service and he said I could have it for parts. Many people do not value these old reels.

I do! ;)

I think the black 113 and 114 are great reels! Being narrow minded, I just think the originals are too wide. If you want to see what can be done with a black 114, check out John's narrowed version. Neat stuff!

I really like this narrow 114 in the link.
Come over one day and you can put your hands on a Narrow 114 Beast of a reel. Handles really nice.

We could do the same to the 113 and many others that have the narrowed kit available.
This was one of the reason I was looking for a lathe.
Usually, the left side of the spool is the same, except for the thickness. The shaft on the right is longer, but can be modified easily, good tools are needed though, I can't do with my dremel;D.

Sounds good! I haven't thought about the 114 much, but I really am impressed with these.
I wasn't going to take any pictures while cleaning this reel up and putting in a 5 stack, but it is just too pristine not too.(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag93/darondyer/IMG_22201_zps46055158.jpg)
Shiny,Shiny ;D

Other than a lot of oil inside, this reel is was like new. Steel gears too.

Done.

Sweet. I hope to have a 7 stack for that reel in the future. I mis-measured the drag washers and cut the OD 1 mm too large. I'm going to see if I can mount a whole mess of washers on and arbor and mount the arbor on a lathe and cut them down.
Don't mess with those, as I mentioned earlier they are perfect for Lee's inserts.

How much thinner are the washers with the inserts? The washers seem rather thin (OD to ID) to fit an insert.
OD and ID are spot on. Lees are 1.18mm yours are .53mm in thickness, I'm thinking yours might generate too much drag on those. We could change the combination, but that would defeat the purpose.
Fill me in Sal about what you guys are talking about. A Hex insert for a stock 6/0?

I don't have the dimensions but the octagon adapters work well in the small 5-60 and 5-66 gears.

After I do the larger reels.
Sorry Daron, I was telling Bryan that his washers that are too big for the 114 will fit perfectly in Lee's 114H insert.

Washer on the right is lees, stocked on top of Bryans,. washer on the left is Bryans, stocked on top of Lees.
As you can see dimensions are the same, but not on thickness.
I See. :) Very Interesting. Maybe I won't have to take out a Mortgage to Hex all my 114's and 9/0's now. ;D
Oh got it.
I installed a 1+7 drag in my 114 and, if I remember correctly, it got 33lbs drag. Very respectable and more than enough for this old boy.

Are you selling the 114H inserts yet?
