Title: 14/0 Score
Post by: Shark Hunter on August 14, 2014, 04:21:32 AM
fatstriper gave me a deal on a 14/0 that I couldn't pass up. You don't realize how big these Bohemoths are until you sit them next to a little 180. This reel is in great Shape! ;) Someone tried to use a 12/0 brace on it. It needed a clamp and a Handle. I will tear into it this weekend. Thanks fatstriper Man! ;D

That reel obviously belongs in that collection. Looks good buddy.

Now you just need to hook a 500lb hammer and test out the drag  ;D

Man,
   I'd like to see that monster Senator collection of yours all laid out some day... probably take up half a football field.
Keep it up,
Dom

You know John,
That's exactly what Sean said. :o I told him I needed another 14/0 like a hole in the head. He responded, There are worse things to be addicted to. For $220 shipped, I would have needed a hole in the head for letting it slip by! ;) It has newer drags too. I already ordered two new braces for it. If I have enough time, I'm going to double dog it this evening.

Well Basto,
Its all about the heart Brother! ;) I tore into this beast this afternoon. If you really want to try your patience with a Senator. Try double dogging a 14/0, Those springs will drive you into the Nut House!
That Duct tape is for helping hold the eccentric screws in and keeping those damn springs from going into oblivion. I shimmed the sleeve and cut the plate for the double dogs.
I win the Battle. Nothing like the clickety clack of double stainless dogs! Thank You Lee!
And thank You fatstriper Man for feeding my addiction!
