Since I have no more Dom frames. I have a enough parts around to redo an old classic.
I have had a Gold Accurate Frame 9/0 on my safe for months. It was the model for the famous Dom and Tom frames. It was older with a little Patina. I figured it was time to give it the respect that it Deserves.
The Plates Came from my Man Dom himself. I'm guessing they are from a newer mold, but I really like the plate, It actually says 9/0 and a Marlin with a little more Detail.
Black Pearl Hex gears and a 5 Stack Hex with washers from My Man Lee. Also, his double ss dogs.
A lot of people Here Made this Happen. The spool from Big Tim. The Rings from Larry, aka the reel doc,
The bearings and rod brace from Ted aka Max Doubt, Stainless sleeve and Springs from Bryan, stainless yoke from Dawn, The Handle from Adam and the Custom finish from Sal.
Last, but not least, the 5/0 Grip from the Boss makes it Complete! ;)
Well done, Daron --
Great teamwork on everyone's part...
Best,
Fred
Nice reel Daron!! Solid work!
Thanks Bob and Fred. Getting back to basics. With the parts left over.
SS Sleeve, single ss dog. Honing my skills for a major build.
Keta Krank, 5/0 grip, original post bearing model before all the hoopla of frames and such.
This reel is still a very capable contender. ;)
Turned out awesome! These reels are impressive and beautiful.
I finally got my hands on one of the so called transition 9/0's. These were from the last run in USA before the L2 was moved to China. There was another thread from garking saying he had one of these, but afraid it was not a made in USA Reel. I went after this one because the plate is a little different. It has "115L" instead of the 9/0.
It looks like it has some L2 features. The non handle bearing, The plates and ss rings, but everything else looks legit including the 8 screw pattern. I'll let you know whats inside. Its NIB, so it should tell the tale if its really USA.
Very nice reel. Have you opened it and taken a look at the internals. I would really like to know what you think of the parts inside these transition reels.
Pretty cool reel you've got there Daron. That answers a few questions about what a transition reel looks like. Thats a pretty fancy tailplate. I supose these guys are actually pretty uncommon given the relatively short production run?
I will get into that one soon. I have a Insert for it.
Finally getting this done. The guts of this reel look Legit. Brass Main Gear and no parts stamped L2.
The drags were bone dry. I Hate to see that. The Grease in the reel was minimal. I don't roll like that either.
I am going to replace everything, just because I have been holding some hot rod parts for a while.

Gear ready to go in, These Inserts are the latest and greatest. Very Powerful! I owe Adam a static test on the Big Boys, My riding mower can't hold back 50 lbs of drag. I'm working on it. ;)

Now the pièce de résistance. A Brand New Silver Accurate Frame from My Man Dom.

This reel has the best of everything. All from members here. A Powerhouse in a small package. Capable of crazy drag numbers. The all mighty Keta Krank makes it Complete with a 5/0 Kokelar grip.
I got the frame right on this one Rudy. ;)

Do you have two screws installed on the dogs?
I really like the transition reel. Good color combo.
I'd like to do some upgrades on my 9/0. Perhaps I should try double dogging it.
I might be borrowing some ideas from this thread. Nice reels.
daron fantastic, great pictures and great tutorial, the reels and your craftmanship are second to none, truly a master. enjoy using those beauties, great job. amazing how lots of members get involved ,one big happy family. harryk

Yes Sean,
The two lower Bridge screws are used for the dogs.
Do you just have them installed like that so you can assemble it or do flip them around. I've never seen that before.
I talked to my parts guy today. He said my 9/0 should be here soon.
I just do that to see how much I have to cut for the second dog and engagement with the ratchet.
Nice job Daron, another one of a kind sea monster slayer.
Ah I see, I've never double dogged a reel before. Nice work man.
Well,
I put the Silver Frame on Backwards. ::) Its easy enough to do. The Gold one will probably never leave the Plinth. I think I will leave the Silver one as it is. I know I will rub that Bar thumbing the line back on.
Silver and Gold! ;D
From neophyte to expert. Good job Daron. You took to this reel stuff like a duck to orange sauce. Dominick
I found a mint gold 114H Accuframe last week. I had it on my watch list for about 10 days and then the seller dropped the price to $50.
I could not resist. :o
Your building siblings! Or a papa and baby bear.
Very nice work man,,love the 9/0's,,,now the rod and line? ;D
Sweet deal. Now the big boy has a little brother.
I have a Black Plate 114H that will work nicely with this frame.
I would leave the black 114h original if I were you.... but I'm not!
Looking good D. Awesome transition plates and a lucky dog on the 9/0 Accurate frame !
Oohhh.... Keta crank is cool. Will this fit my 6/0? And where can I buy one?
I don't think Lee is making these anymore.
There are other options.
Adam from Motive Fabrication is making them now.
If your 6/0 is a 114H. The 9/0 has the same sleeve.
Let me see if I can find one for you.
No promises.
Alan had them too. He drilled three for me last week. They are nice and meaty.
I had some 50VSX grips from our swap to TBars on the International's so i put them on Alan's blades. If you need the whole handle I highly recco Alan's 5/0 grip (what Daron has) on this blade. It's SS and all you will ever need. The Boss's grip is a full inch longer than the Int grip I installed.
Mine is a 114HL thanks for looking daron !
