Title: Penn 112H upgrade
Post by: Pappy on June 05, 2016, 05:50:06 PM
Would it be feasible to hot rod a 112H?  All stainless steel parts, drag stack and all? How much more drag would I get? I already have a Tiburon frame on it. Any info is appreciated.

All SS parts are not available as of now but I went as far as I could with 2 of mine.

Hey Keta,
I guess I can wait, I ll be doing the 100 for now. Any idea when the parts might be available?

Alto Mare or Black Pearl would know more than I would.  I have the AR dogs, Alan Tani has the gearsleeves.

I've done them with everything available and they turn out very good. I would figure on using 20lbs of drag at the most even with all the goodies and Bryan's drag stack.

Above that I had problems with the pinion gear.

20# its a lot for normal inshore fishing..

I have one 112h still pending to build, but already have SS dogs from Lee and octagon adapter from Lee (keta goodies)

Without all of the upgrades, I would keep the 112H under 20#. The Jigmaster, loaded with everything we have available could handle 20#.
