Title: Hotrod 140
Post by: heckrazr on January 11, 2014, 05:22:16 AM
Aloha All,

Just finished putting together my Tani inspired Tib framed 140.  I know, it's a Squidder....but my passion for these lil' workhorses has no bounds. 

Tiburon frame and reel seat, Alan's SS sleeve and handle, Ketas SS arm, Smooth drags, Newell Aluminum spool...etc.

Good Job Dave! ;D Those Keta Krank's with Alan's handle's really set a reel off! You could always take it off and club the fish with it! ;D
Good looking Dog. He looks like he's thinking " you toucha this car, I Bita yo Butt!" :D

Cool finished upgraded reel. On the paper towel where is the part #14 dog spring? Did not see it unless it was in the right side plate.
High Ball 3 ice cubes-fill glass with JimBeam & add 3 drops of 7UP! Very refreshing.

Booze and reel rebuilding are bad bedfellows. Trust me on this. ;)

Shark Hunter mabe the glass in the picture was ice tea? One of my old buddies used to make high balls in 16 oz. ice tea glasses like that and he did not service reels. ;D
