With the many upgrades we've been doing here, my 16/0 felt left out .

so I decided to dress it up a little :)
I ordered some 1/8 stainless steel plates...not an easy job trying to cut that by hand, but as you can see it can be done

and here are the parts I will be installing on my new 16/0

I'm sure some of you have already seen my barrel handle already.
The handle on top takes one of the frame posts

the extended harness lugs fit in nicely

I had this idea about 6-7 years ago, Lee and I were working on a few designs but never made it here.
He made me these at the time per my request

They do work nicely on the 10/0, but only if using the frame post, or you won't have enough room for your fingers to fit.
I was inspired with this handle above, from this reel
