I have a Accurate frame that is supposed to be for a Penn Senator 113. It is wider than a standard & narrower than a wide. The width of the frame is 2.900 in. All the wide senators are 3.000 in wide. It also has 6 screw holes not 8 or 5 like a H HL H2 . Anybody got a guess? ??? ??? ??? I can't send photos as I don't have the equipment to do so. Rudy
My only guess that it's for the 113 black sideplates. I believe those reels had 6 holes in the sideplate.
The side plates on my vintage 113's have 8 screw holes. My Jigmasters and Squidders have 6 screws holes but I can not match up the width.

Oh yeah, it has 8. 1 top post, 3 bottom for the reel plate, and 4 posts.
Rudy, what is the diameter of the frame? Is it a full or half frame?
George
What is the diameter?
The following photo shows a jigmaster half frame and a 114 full frame. I'm measuring the diameter of the full frame.

Rudy, are you positive your frame is for a 113? The 113 needs 8 screw holes, this is why I'm asking for a better description and measurements.
Thank you,
George

The diameter is about 3.540 , its the same as all 113 frames except it has 6 holes that line up with 113 plates with 2 extra holes in the plates & the frame is .100 inch narrower. Its a full frame. Rudy
Rowdy,
I had a somewhat similar experience with a frame from Tiburon. I contacted them, got a reply. That is how I learned about the existence of the Broadbill model. I suspect Accurate will respond also.

I contacted Accurate by E Mail a week and a half ago & no response. I called today & receptionist said no one is available. Great company communication & customer relations. Rudy
I'd suspect the holidays have something to do with it, give them a call on Tuesday.
Hi Lee, I finally got through to Accurate Reel & it seems that they couldn't care less about frames they say they made a long time ago. All they are interested in is thier present reels not old stuff. They have no archives or history to get info. After that response if they were the last reel co. on this earth I would use a string & a safety pin on a stick. Rudy
Not good customer service.
Rudy,
I'm also disappointed in Accurate's response. ??? Is it too much for the person on the phone to ask one of the old timers in the shop to answer your question? Apparently so. >:(

Sorry to hear that, Rudy. They're making a big mistake.

Thank you to everyone that has viewed & tried to answer my problem. I did a little head scratching & called on a little inginuity [ I don't have a dictionary] on my part & took 2 113 inner rings & turned them backwards & mounted the 113 4/0 plates [2 outer & 4 inner rings] . I needed the frame to be .100 wider & the rings are each .042 thick, but that was close enough to set in a long beach 68 spool. I guess there is more then one way to skin a cat. [good thing my kitty can't read E Mails] I hope everybody buys from Accurates competitors. From now on I will use Tiburon & JVariance for my frame mods..I just wish JVariance had a little more variaty. Again THANK YOU EVERYONE & Happy New Year Rudy
