What was so special about this reel?

The Tiburon frame is worth about $100, and free shipping adds about $11. The price is not unreasonable.

Then the one I picked up for less than 1/2 of this price was a supper deal.  I'm still looking for a 112H narrow kit but it looks like I'll have to make it myself.   Spools are a PIA.

G'day Lee, I did the topless Tiburon T3 frame conversion via Alan for $66, with a Kolekar handle etc.
I'm not aware of any narrow conversions for this reel - but it's pretty slim already.
Have you considered just switching the frame etc?
For what it's worth, I'm really pleased with how mine's turned out...
Cheers, Justin

I missed a Tiburon 112H narrow kit on Ebay several months ago.
