A fishing buddy came across a crusty old 4/0 and wanted me to clean it up, tweak it little for live bait grouper fishing. New drag washers from Smooth Drag.com, a new International 50 handle, vinegar soak, new grease and ready to go. The drag tested at 30lbs with locking down the star. Should do the job.

Looks good ! He should be happy !
Great rescue, Bill! I really like those handles- my fishing partner switched to Tiburon's and gave me a few of those. Very nice...

Awesome Work! That little 113H is a real Gem. ;)
Very impressive job of bringing it back to life !!
Love the knob and arm. This is by far the thickest handle blade money can buy. A Mack truck couldn't bend that sucker
Nice transformation from 'well used' back to 'as new' condition.
