Hi Dawn,

I'm sorry, I had my reels mixed up.  I was thinking albacore special.  You can find them on eBay.  Randy is selling some of his parts under socalfishingtackle.  He's got several colors posted for sale.  They all should work, but you can send Randy an email and ask it what he has fits the Yellowtail Special.

I'm not positive, but I think the YT special has a smaller shaft.

Hi Dawn,

I've got a YT special at home.  I'll compare the star to my 4/0 and see.  I know the Wahoo Special has a smaller shaft like the Albacore special but didn't think it was as small as that.

Thanks Bryan, all their "specials" are confusing.

Yup, my YT special star the same as my 113HWL star.  It's essentially a narrow 113H.
