You go Alan!
I'll take 4 sets my brother! ;D
Then the 12/0. :P
I do I do ;D
I'm in. Bob
Looks like the ss 12-114 yoke Dawn sells will fit the 115L so I am in for two sets, Mel in Kawaihae.
Darn right I'm ready ::), one free set ain't gonna do for me, I will need a few more.
This one will be a killer reel ;)
now your talking... I'll take two.
Two for me.
I'll go ahead and commit to one.
Don't have the 115 yet, but I'm shopping for it.
Definitely down for one!
Bought a 9/0 from John2244 last night, thanks John. ;)
I will buy a set.
alan, you're worse then a local crack dealer...... ;D
I will definitely take 1 for myself and may have at least 20-30 lined up for one or more once they see mine.
Bought a 9/0 from John2244 last night, thanks John.
Nice! You'll love it. As for the gear set, I'm in as well.
President Tani is right... you're like the neighborhood dealer.
BTW, count me in for at least 4 for sure!
...any chance on a 7+1 stack :o
Thanks for bringing these to the table,
Dom

Dom, one of my 114H's has 7+1 already, Dawn sent me a set of 10 about 5 months ago.
The washers are stamped .35mm, but are actually.50mm, I was able to install 7+1 using the stock metal washers, if we go with .75 metal washers 9+1 would be possible.
The reel feels very smooth, I actually just took it apart and tested my accurate main gear with Black pearl's pinion...jus to see, the reel doesn't skip a beat ;).
Says a lot about Alan's machinist, that reel is very smooth ;)
Thanks for the explanation, Sal. 9+1 would be great!
Does Dawn stock those washers or were they an "Alto Special?" ;)
Dom

Hi all,
The PENN 115L SS gear set will be here next week. I will issue an invoice to all members who pre-ordered earlier.
If you have ordered this 115L gear set, please send me your email address, so I can issue an invoice to you.
Thanks,
--Alan
Hello Alan,
Regarding the 115L gear set. If you are using the same main as the 114H I assume the 9/0 pinion is why the gear ratio is different. Based on that can I use the 114H HEX main with a 115L pinion in a Penn9/0 ?? I would really like to test the HEX gears in my Penn 9/0 with a lower gear ratio. I will be on a 12 day in late December looking for big tuna.

Yes, the main gear is the same.
Alan,
I would like to order a 115L gear set with an extra pinion.

Hi John,
All our gear sets are come with a set. I can't just sell a pinion.
By the way, I don't think the 115L pinion gear will work on a 114H. I could be wrong.
Alan,
I may have misread but I thought you were using the 114H main gear with the 115L gear set. If that is the case it seems like the 115 pinion should work in the penn 9/0 with the 114h HEX gear set. Let me know.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
It was my mistake. You are right. The 115L (9/0) reel shares the same 114H (6/0) main gear (the one I made).
By the way, you can buy a Hex main gear set for the 115L as well. You just need to add $5.00 per set.
Please note that the HEX 114H main gears are running low. Once they are gone, they are gone....
Thanks Alan for the update. I would like to place an order for the 115 HEX gear set. If , by chance, there is an over run of pinion gears I will buy two extra pinions.
John
Anyone receive an invoice yet? :-\
not yet.
I have not sent out any invoice yet because I have not received the 115L gear set from my resource yet.
You guys know how I am that I don't like to send any invoice out until I have the product on hand. :)
Got it Chui! ;)
The 115L production order is en routed to FL. It should be here next Wednesday (12/4).
Please note that if you order this 115L, please let me know that you want it in Hex or standard if you have not done so.
Merry Christmas to Me! ;)
Order invoice received and PAID!
Early Christmas!
2 Hex and 2 Vanilla for Me!
I don't care if all I get is Reindeer poop! :D
That's what my son keeps telling me I am getting! :P
I am going to have to order one and also get a ss dog. Yesterday, I think I fried my dog or gear sleeve on my 9/0 while breaking loose a large stingray bait from he bottom while surf fishing. I haven't had a chance to open it up yet and verify. I was able to add an extra ht-100 drag washer in my stack. Do you think this might have contributed to my anti- reverse failure? Btw, reeling in about 500 yards of line without anti-reverse bites. And I got blanked while my greenhorn friend and his son caught a monster black drum, a decent bull red, slot red and a keeper size black drum. I was happy for them. Some days just don't go your way.

Today is the first of December...are we too late? I bought a 115 today. Didn't plan on it, but twenty bucks at the pawn shop. Can't pass that up.
Actually I'm just worried about missing out on a limited run. If the 115 gears are going into production (including the hex version), I would rather wait until next year and pay full price.

The 115L gear set production is done. It is ready for shipping on 12/5. Since 115L and 114H share the same main gear, therefore HEX main gear can be used by both models. Hex main gear (114H or 115L) will not be in production anymore until there is a demand for it. Currently, I have about 20 HEX main gears.
Thanks,

Wow! Pass these off as fine art!
If I wait until spring, I should still be able to buy this standard Black Pearl gear and a 115L pinion, correct? What will the price be then?
Alan,
You should make a teeny weeny bikini for them cause they are sexy!
Hope they work as good as they look, nice job!

Okay, I think that there has got to be a way to connect this statement with the photo of your purchases from the last two months. :D
Is that what you tell your wife? " I have to buy now before the price goes up! "
I know nothing. :P
I say nothing. ;)
I just bought her a new Car. I think I'm good. ;)

$72.99 is the regular price.
and a good deal at that price, too! I just have to pause on working on the reels and start building some rods to catch up.
All paid orders have been shipped out this morning.
If any member has any questions, please let me know.
Thank you all,
--Alan
Alan,
I'm sure these babies are gonna work fantastic. However, just like the 112h and 114h gears I can't put my stamp on 'em until I test 'em on the water. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to wait until spring for the testing :(
Even the best companies make a flub here and there... ask every car company with a recall. Hey, for that matter ask our Chief (Alan T), as the 113h gear sleeve holes (where the pin goes) had been off a teeny.
After all fishing reels are quite precise tools.
One thing I can say is the 113h gears are crazy good!
Can't wait for the testing phase.
Thanks
Dom
PS- I'm loving the bikini, as it really accentuates her curves ;) ;D
Has anybody received this gear set order yet?
Yes, I have four. Got them last week. ;D
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag93/darondyer/IMG_21631_zpsd70e0846.jpg)
Looks good as always Chui! Thank You.
I will be cutting drag washers and getting ready to try them out in a week or two. I finally get some time off. Other than two days of the annual winter tree trimming duty. I will have 10 days to only work on reels. I have waited 4 months to do this. There will be some double dogging, stainless steel sleevin' and custom drag stackin' goin' on! ;D
I too received mine last week.
Just tanked my 9/0... Here sharkie ;D
Just need to get a handle to put on the SS arm.
Chile, give us some details on which drags you went with. Also if you could, let us know what numbers are you're getting at max.
I picked up a 9/0 for $65, I just couldn't let it go.The reel looks almost new and came with the box,
now I don't have to mess with my brand new one that a friend sent me, a little while back.
I already double dogged it and its ready to go, I will be testing the insert from Lee and the washers from Bryan.
I see that most of you guys got your gears, I'm still waiting for mine...and I thought he liked me :-\.
Standard style gear set, not the Hex.
Alan's SS Gear Sleeve with HT-100 washer.
Double SS Dogs, alternating engagement.
SS yoke from Smoothdrag.com
Six stack of HT-100 drags with SS washers.
Don't know if I'll go through the hassle to test the limits of the drag the way you do.
Last time I did that testing my tanked 6/0, I snapped an old Custom Striker rod.
I don't blame you John, I've done that to one of my favorite rods not long ago.
I'll be putting the hex in a 9/0 and a 114HLW. ss sleeve, yoke and double dogs.
I'm also going to put a 7 stack in a different 9/0 with the non hex with Bryan's washers.
I'll be using Eric's .140 for the hex.
You're not alone, Sal... Santa didn't drop off my gears and I thought I was a good boy ::)
I think Alan was set back a bit with the jig master pinion issue or he shipped pony express ;D
I can't wait for these monsters!
Dom
Did Lee get his? I hope so, he was super pissed last time! :D
You guys got yours first last time. Its special treatment time for us! ;)
Speaking of slow shipping.
Dawn @ Smoothdrag.com needs to get things snapping.
I placed an order this last Monday morning and it didn't get to me till today.
Cali to Bama in less than 72hrs, I tell ya ::)
Yes, I'm being facetious ;D
Thanks Dawn!
That is USPS office for you.
I think I will offer USPS Express and USPS Priority from now on. Of course, there will be more money on those shipping methods.
Will that be a good service? ???
Nope, cause you can't please everyone all the time.
Guarantee ya, somebody will think it should've been Overnighted for free.
Neat thing is, they get over it.
Me though, I'm a happy camper.

Lets make things clear, I never mentioned anything about slow shipping, all I said was that you didn't send them to me. I received the other goodies way before everyone else, the only problem was that you forgot to add the gears ;D.
if it was slow shipping on your part, I wouldn't be complaining . Keep these upgrades coming buddy, we'll wait. ;)

This will give people more choices. This is what I call ACA. No, it is not Affordable Care Act and trust me that is no way affordable at all.
My ACA is stand for Alan's Carrier Act..... ;)
Just keep on doing what your doing Chui. You'll have no complaints from me. ;)
USPS lost some washers I had coming from Lee. It happens.
Remember, it's December. All the package shipping services are going to be busy this month.
I'll be tanking my 115L, but not for a few months.
I wasn't complaining either, Alan... I was just stating whether or not I received them as of yet.
No rush here, I'm wrapping gifts this time of year instead of wrapping line on a spool ;)
PS- I can't use them until April anyway :(
Looking forward to their arrival.
Keep the upgrades rollin'!
Thanks
Dom
