Hi guys, I've been doing lots of reading here and have decided to build my own version of "The Tank" out of a Senator 133H. I bought an Accuframe on ebay for what I think was a fair price, $80 new in the box. Well, when it came in I realized it was a narrow frame. Didn't expect that, didn't pay attention to the photos.
So...
I need some help figuring out what kind of spool I need. Don't even know where to look. Any help will be greatly appreciated! ;D
And if it helps,the Accuframe part number is AF-113S.
I believe you need a yellow tail special spool. The accurate spool will be harder to find. I think a Tiburon T4N will fit. Take some measurements to be sure.
I believe that part number is for a standard width silver frame.
The Tiburon kit I used for my Tank was a T4NK. I think that's the narrow.
What you need is a Tiburon T4NS narrow spool.
a newell yellowtail special spool MAY work for you. I've got one in my 4/0 with a narrow Tiburon frame, and works fine. I've got an extra newell yts spool i'll sell. send me a p.m. if interested.
This spool should work too.
Alright, a small update. The frame I bought is NOT a narrow frame, it is a standard one. I have my 113H completely disassembled and am working on getting everything cleaned up and lubed before I install the parts on the new frame.
told you
Live and Learn. I was not much help either.
Stay with it, you will get it done.
I try to help all I can, but I am tiny grasshoppa here. ;)
Post some pics! Let's see this beauty!
day0ne, you were absolutely correct. Guys, thanks for al the help.
I have the reel cleaned and assembled, minus a few small parts. I'll try to get a photo of it tomorrow. This is my new favorite reel. ;D
Will post details with the photos.
Minus a few small parts? That does not sound good!

Well, it's not too bad. One of the frame screws was bent and unusable and I don't have any spares lying around. And the handle I used is from an International 20, and it's missing the locking plate and screw.
Keep us posted Ron. Keep the faith! ;)
OK, here are the photos! I started out with the brand new Accuframe from ebay and a bit later found a nice Senator 113H with the graphite half frame. I totally disassembled it, cleaned every part, greased the drag washers with Cal's, and coated everything inside with Super Tech blue marine grease. The drag was not smooth at all when I got it, now it's SUPER smooth.
My plan was to "tank" the reel, but for now I'm just going to use it as is. After I install the missing parts, that is. Then later I want a stainless gear sleeve, bridge, 4:1 gears, etc.

I just noticed I forgot to tighten the studs for the clamp.
Looking good so far Ron - nice work!
Looks Good Ron! ;D
