Title: Trying to Match Sideplate for Keith -- Need Help
Post by: foakes on March 11, 2016, 06:17:35 PM
Keith needs a 2/0 Senator tail plate.

I do not have a 2/0 to help match it up.

So need some help to identify what might work -- this is for a client who is going to use it -- so even a different plate would work -- if the size and hole pattern was the same.

I do have new rings for 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 -- so that may work to match -- just thought it might be easier to ask the experts.

One of these seems like perhaps a 99 or Silver Beach plate -- and they match the 99s I have -- one like maybe a 1/0 -- just gets confusing without the reel to match it to.

Appreciate any help...

Beat,

Fred

Might have solved it by looking at Scott's discontinued tail plate -- and comparing it with a new 27-111 ring.

Should work for Keith --

This plate has a guy's name lightly scratched on the outside -- Archer.

Nearly new, and good, though.

Best,

Fred

Fred,
I think I have a 2/0 in Grandpas tacklebox .
I am stuck in Fresno for the time being.
I will look when I get home about 5 or so and let you know.
