.....What Tom said x2 !!
Hmmmmm looks good.
Nice!! At first I thought the clicker was converted into a mag cast control or something! Definitely the most external mods I've seen on a Baja/US113.
Nice upgrade on that reel Derek! Could you show some pics on how you magged it? You can't just put up a pic of the finished reel here ;D.
Looks great!

I have to go with this. I assumed the controls were altered for the Ulua casting guys. I didn't realize you replaced the clicker with a mag?
Here's a PM I received from Derek:
Hi Tom,
What you saw was a few pics of my upgraded/tuned Penn Baja Special 113HN via Alan.
I installed the bridge that you sent me into this reel along with a s. steel eccentric jack from others.
The spool bearings are s. steel ABEC5 from the US. I used high performance lubes throughout.
The knob that you see is not for clicker adjustment, it's a mag conversion. Both this and the spool adjustment/bearing cup knob parts were made and fitted by John Owens of 'John's Tackle Shop' near Manchester, England.
Derek.
