Title: Tiburon Frames and Spools
Post by: SoCalAngler on January 24, 2012, 06:12:46 AM
It looks like Tiburon is comming out with some goodies. From the Charkbait web site.

Finally the guys from Tiburon have come to the rescue of those of us who desired upgrades of Newell reels. Specifically, they have now produced (or are in the process of producing) several much wanted upgrades! For the 200 and 300 series reels, you now have an excellent machined aluminum frame! There's even more to be excited about! They've produced a frame for the 440 and 533 series reels, and there's a new narrow version 533!!! For our Ulua guys. Tib will soon have a machined aluminum spool available for the 454, as well as a frame.  Further the new 550 frame and spool will be excellent additions to the reels our Hawaii guys love so much.

Should be and unscrew and screw.  Then you'd be good to go.

I am also glad Tib is taking the bull by the horns and  have a 220 and 235 tibed out to try this summer. BUUUUUT one of Carls main concepts was a light reel and the Tibb frame lessons that.

True that, buuut Carl did not design these reels with carbon fiber washers, heavier drag pressures and spectra lines in mind either.

Recently saw on eBay an upgrade to the 454. Now narrrrrow and aluminum spool. Look very nice. I did the 235 frame and that is really sweet also. Love the Tib frames!!!!!!!

The biggest benefit will be alignment and lack of twisting there of, which is a common issue wiht Newells.
