Does this look like a 6/0 wide?

Here is my 114HLW(6/0 wide). It's about 3 1/4 inches wide.

Hey Rob, how did you do it, count pixels?

Nah! I held a glass of zin up to it and I knew right away. ;D  Actually I have a 6/0 (114H) and could tell the width was not proportional to mine. And because the eccentric (freespool) lever is on backwards. ;)

I wondered when someone would pick up on that. Thanks Guys.
Dom, you are always talking Zin. What is it? I am a bourbon man myself.
Zinfandel? Are you a wine-o?
Just Joking Dom, Don't get Mad at me. I'm just a Hillbilly trying to have some fun.
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this wide 6/0. I got it for a hundred bucks.
I thought that was fair.

My Man Sal tells me that Penn never made a 6/0 wide with posts. Uh-Oh! This is going to be expensive.
Live and learn. Guess I'm going to have to go whole hog here. Tiburon P60WEX frame and spool kit and a double dogging are going to be in the works.

Did you look at the stand for the number on it (30-xxx)? Maybe it could give you a starting place for similar reels. ???

I don't have it yet.

The stand says 30-114.
I got the number from the auction pics. I am starting to think this is not a wide model.
I should get it tomorrow.

That stand is a standard width stand.  :-\   Rudy

No numbers needed, the reel you're showing above is a standard.

That's not going to stop me on tricking it out with a P60WEX Frame and spool. Live and Learn. I picked up another 114H for 60 bucks to justify my loss. Git-r-Done!

Rob and Dom need to ease up on the Zin.
I got the reel today and it is definitely not a wide. However, it is in excellent shape after I took off the old Dacron. I need to control myself on these purchases and you guys are not helping my addiction.
After looking at Sal's Tiburon P60WEX build. I had to have one.
I got a nice silver one for $229 from reely gone. It was the last silver one he had in stock. I know this is not cheap, but I think this will make a 114h unstoppable against some nice fish. Namely, Sharks!
Sal is not helping here. Do any of you guys have this set up? I can't wait to get this reel done up and probably on an 80 to 100 lb senator rod.
Take Care my friends.
