That is a great idea Alan/John. Unfortunately the idea came too late, I spent all of my money already on all of the previous upgrades ;D. Our new member Leif might give this a good start, he keeps surprising us with some goodies ;).
Very nice idea John, I like it!

I'll ask the boss if she will take some photos for me, I don't do cameras well and she had a photo studio when her eyes worked better.

After Akfish showed me the error of my ways of using 320gtii's for halibut fishing and I started buying 113H's and modifying them, I used the term "hot rod" to explain to my wife that I could spend several thousand and "hot rod" my truck, or I could spend much, much less and "hot rod" some fishing reels, she got it.... so I like the term hot rod for modding reels.

Since there's no photos yet in the photo gallery, I'll start Here's my 113H's in various stages of hot rodding, two of them are now full fledged Yellowtail Specials with narrow frames and 4:1 Gears.. and one has "pink line" for my wife
