Title: Need Frame for Senator 6/0 and Electra-mate
Post by: TechTeach on February 26, 2019, 01:03:19 PM
Just scored and electra mate setup for deep drop, reel is stock but I would like to add a frame instead of the Penn reel seat with all that weight hanging off one side.

Where is the best place to buy a frame?

I looked on Cortez conversions only saw 9/0..

Anyone have a 6/0 frame sitting in a box? Color doesn't really matter.

Thanks guys.

Thank you Rudy!

I have an old black Accurate aluminum full frame that isn't pretty but is functionally as good as new that I can sell for $45 plus $4.94 for shipping by USPS first class parcel with tracking.  If that works for you I would be happy to send you some photos.

If looks are important, I have a very nice Penn aluminum half frame for $30.

Thanks,

Randy

Randy, can you send me pictures of both? Do they include reel clamps?

Thanks.

PM me your cellphone number and I will text you some photos.  The Accurate frame has a clamp.  The Penn frame doesn't have a clamp, but I can probably come up with one.
