John, I am going on a 4-day aboard the
ROYAL STAR in mid-July... Maybe some nice BFTs or albies... I can't wait! (http://forums.snapstream.com/vb/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Good Luck Aiala: Hoping for cow tuna for you to test your new tank. Dominick
I have never fished on the Royal Star but I know it is a great boat. Before leaving Clarion Island last month we passed our extra bait over to her. I believe they got 23 YFT over 200#'s on that trip.

Thanks, Dom! (Pssst: It isn't a "tank"; not like the kind you fellows build, anyway. I'm intimidated by the thought of 50 lbs of drag or whatever... I don't want to get yanked over the side! :P)

That's going to be perfect for a Royal Star trip, escpecially if it's going to be teamed up with that pink 2-speed Avet JX.
Leo,
If I can figure out to download them from my Ipad I will be glad to do it for you.

John: This basic stuff. You should be able to upload to photobucket. If not plug your Ipad into your computer and upload then to photobucket. If you know how to change the size of the pictures you should be able to load them directly. Email them to yourself. Lots of ways. Dominick
Good Job on that Reel Aiala! ;) I like the Silver Tibs the Best! 8)

Thanks, Daron! (I wish I had an amber handle like yours, though... classic!) I may have to get some more silver Tibs to go with this one and my silver Dom/Tom frame. I have a regular 113H, 2 112Hs, 2 500s, a Squidder... geez, it never ends, does it?? :D

No it doesn't. Once you get the Bug, Its hard to Shake it! ::) That's a 114H with a P60 WEX extra wide kit. I checked my stock Handles, and the only 113H one I have is white. It came off the Tank.

One of these Handles will really set it off!

Well, there can be little doubt that I have been severely bitten by that Bug. Look what I added to my collection today! Another eBay oldie, this time a vintage 6/0 Senator in need of much TLC, now all fixed up and dressed head-to toe-in couture Accurate (courtesy of Mr. Berinson):

I like the gold and black together...black billeted handle and black spool would really set it off. Nice looking reel though.
Very nice work Aiala, you have caught the Reel Head Virus for sure.

They are my preferred handle color.
For some reason, my favorite color handles are white.
Maybe because it was on my first 113h which is my favorite reel among the Senator series.
Maybe we should made a handle color poll for kicks.
Before long, your collection will be bigger than mine! That is Sick! ;)

Never happen, Daron. I doubt I could handle a 14/0, let alone a 16/0 or one of those giant Everols. And if it was attached to some humongous shark...?? Yikes! :P
