How the heck do you decide what reels to take with you fishing?  ::)  Are they on a rotational plan of some sort?  ;D

Another winner!

Sweet reel Darin

This is the last of the artistic picture plates IMHO.

Only found on the earliest version of 113h, this picture plate has a boat in the fishing scene. The boat was eliminated when the plate was redesigned after a few short years.

lol, I'm with you, I always take too many rods/reels and my friends/family always make fun of that ;D
I guess there's bigger problems to have, but I like this problem ;)

Ted, thanks for that great nugget. My 114h has the same image but the plates are not in such good shape, I guess I should try to polish them up a little bit.

How good do they look with Sal's handles, simply beautiful, they finish the reel off and take it to a new level...
Again, beautiful...

This is very cool. What do the upgraded parts cost for one of these?  I'd like to put one of these together for my son.

Thanks! It depends on what you put inside of the reel, but you can easily spend 400-500$ fully loaded ;D

You could build one of these for around $225-250, then add custom knob, blade, shifter, gears, gear sleeve, drags, double dog bridge, and Cortez sideplates. Then you'd be around $500
