So I get an email from my brother last week. He is getting is gear together for a trip we have and he realizes his 9/0 is in storage. He packed up and left for Texas last year on a job offer.
I tell him to relax, I will fix him one up.
Lets see what I have in the Vault.
I need the handle off this 114H and the line off another 9.

My records indicate this 1/2 frame has Black Pearl gears and double dogs.
It also has one of Bryan's seven stacks and an ss sleeve.

Now I Know where that heat treated pinion goes! An improvement Mr. Chui made to his gears.
We have come up with some really nice upgrades since I put this one together.
Adam's insert kit with Delrin under gear is the big one.
I had to go to the garage to fit the insert and some washers. Also to cut some titanium dog springs.
I got side tracked from my Neighbor and a bottle of Sailor Jerry. :P
I will have to put this back together later. ;)

He hasn't landed a shark yet. I just want to make sure this reel can take some punishment.
This is just for him to use a few days.

I was about to give up again. I don't know what it is about this one. I couldn't get everything lined up without something falling out at the last minute.

Those Titanium dog springs are mighty stiff. I decided to try to and cut some more accurate versions down the road. All I need to do know is spool it and mount it on a rod.
The 9/0 version of the Tank!
SS Sleeve from Bryan,
SS yoke from Dawn,
Black Pearl Gears with heat treated 416 pinion,
Insert Kit from Adam,
Custom Keta Krank and ss dogs,
Half Frame from Cortez Conversions

Mounted on a nice Penn Mariner 30 to 80 stand up rod.
I'm going to spool it with straight 80 lb. mono. This reel has a lot of Muscle. Hopefully it will be tested. ;)

Good luck Daron! With all of the hot water, and strong new moon tides, you may get your monster. I know you will be prepared.
Thanks.
I'm going to need it. ;)
Great looking reel. Have a good time fishing with your Bro.
Looking forward to some much needed water time.
Great to see you Bro! ;D
