Is a $25 reel really worth upgrading ??
Now it's a $110 reel. Mo is a bad influence on me when it comes to the seaboy.....this is all his fault !!
We don't do this because we are smart !!!......................... ;D
Most of us here have put a bucket load of money into an old reel all the while knowing its not "worth" it ...................... but what the hell its fun !!
Cheers:

;D guilty ;D
Love it Ted!
I think it would be fun to build a Seaboy tank someday!
A great little reel. What I want is one of Chad's adapters on your 501 width seat with 190 sideplates and an 85L spool (I think it will fit the 190 pinion?) and Newell bars.
I'll call it the black rockfish special.

Mo is a bad influence,
Each time I read his build threads, I know I'm about to spend some money ;D.
Na, I luv it.....

When you ponder this question just a little...it should become obvious. Making a $25 Seaboy a $100 Seaboy hurts less than turning a $100 Jigmaster into a $500 Jigmaster. :D

True dat!
Ted, ever thought about making making 30-60/30-85 bases? Not a high-performance reel option, but I think it would be quite popular. Could be put on the 185 Seaboy. Tanked-out LB60s... hmm.
Quid pro quo- I ask Ted for one reel seat. I get three reel seats, a reel, some spools and a partridge in a pear tree that now has my entire 16 foot bench covered in lego reshuffle of seats, spools, handles, plates, clamps, etc. pulling in another ten reels to tweak. Now I cant identify where some of this crap goes. Loving it.
Hold on just a minute
How bout a seaboy 2.5/0 Senator ?? It's wider than 2/0, but narrower than a 3/0
All Older reels that Penn ever made are worth upgrading.
The only reels I'm not crazy about are the graphite spinners, bug there are many that really like those,
So it might be just me.

I like the 111 and have dreamt about upgrading with the aluminum spool, as Ted did, and Sals' Grouper Special gear set (5-149 main and 13-113H pinion).
