Just finished this one...Came together around a Tiburon one-piece, topless frame. Other upgrades include a 5 stack of ground flat stainless and Carbontex fiber drag washers sandwiched in Cal's, SS gear sleeve and A/R dog, ceramic bearings and round aluminum power knob. Used the original gears, the hidden harness rings from a Baja Special and a slotted bearing cap/tension adjustment from a Penn 20 Mag.
Joe, that's a sweet looking reel. You always build some nice reels! Bob
Very,very NICE! Joe, funny thing is I was just thinking of how to NOT have the harness rings on a 113h. Thanks for the idea. Looks great!

I've seen this reel in person guys, the picture doesn't do it justice! It's flawless. Didn't realize you were on this forum as well Joe. Guess I should have figured you were though due to your phenomenal reel collection. Haha.

I agree with Bob on the hidden harness lugs! Also, it's something about a RED spool that makes me drool. thanks for sharing Joe!

The red spool really sets it off. Great looking reel. So the reversible harness lugs from the Baja Special drop right in, no worry about the lugs hitting the spool when reversed?
Thanks for posting.

Joe I found you a Pro Gear 545..!! It's being shipped to me soon.
WOW, awesome job! I'm currently upgrading my 113H with the narrow Tiburon frame/spool, SS gear sleeve, SS hardened yoke, Smoothie SS/Carbontex drags, and Tiburon power handle. Where did you get the hidden lugs and the bearing cap/tension parts? Do you have the specific part numbers? Thanks
Nice conversion! I am curious though, did you use one S.S. dog or two?

Thought I got these from mysticparts.com, but what I see on there today is not what I've used. I'll have to go back and figure it out. The one's I used didn't have the top ring at all.

You're the man Keith! Can't wait to see it.
Thanks! Please let me know what you find out.
Every time I look at this reel Joe, I want to build one just like it! ;)
Hey good job. If I owned a reel that looked like that I would use it as my avatar. ;D Dominick
Please let us know what you find out about the lugs. Perfect for my jigging 113 8)
Hey guys, when I did my 113h tank. I used part 54-113HN harness lug. I cut off the the ring part and ground down the sharp edges. It's really just a plug at this point but it has the right curve to it.

The second dog isn't just about the one dog failing, there is more to that.
I'm all ears Alto...I've learned most of what I know from you guys and always appreciate your knowledge and input!
On the harness lugs, I ordered part number 54-113 HN from mysticparts.com. However, the part I received is different from those pictured on the site. There's no ring. Don't know if these were earlier or later that what Scott's shows. But that's definitely the part number on the invoice. Previous to this I just cut the ring off the lugs and shaped them the match the curve of the outer ring. Problem was the cut exposed the bronze interior. Not a biggy, but I've got issues and it wouldn't work for me.
Don't remember where I got the tip on the Baja Special parts, but I would guess my friend Keith showed me a Baja Special and I started looking.
BTW, the slotted bearing cap discussed earlier in this thread came from a Penn 210 from the Mag Tuned series. Mysticparts.com didn't have them when I last looked. I did get a few from Southwestern Parts and Service, but they could have been sitting on the shelf there forever. Anybody checked with Penn?
