Have you guys see these? I looked at the website a few years back but have not see the frames in person. They look good on the site.

Yes. I have a few frames for sale. I haven't had the chance to put up a posting yet. They look awesome. El Pascador (WAYNE) has a 20 I believe.

Exactamumdo Buckaroo!!!!
A beautiful sleek solid aluminum CNC frame, very nice craftsmanship, spooled with 50 lbs. braid, and Alan's 4/0 handle.
Did not get a chance to use in in Los Cabos on my trip with Dom, will use it in Jan. 2014 to pick Pargo out of the rocks. Can't wait to get it wet!

El Pescador, beautiful reel. Almost makes me wanna be a Daiwa guy. Almost ::) ::)
Hey guys. I want this for my SL20. I've tried contacting the email listed on the site but it doesn't work. Does anyone know if theres a different contact for them?
I have one that was built from an SHV. Mine is spooled with 30 lb. braid. I would have preferred that it had provisions for a clamp. It was an easy build that makes a very nice compact reel.
very nice looking kits,when I checked,the price for the 30 was only 60.00 bucks plus shipping,that almost seems to good to be true,anyone that bought one of these remember what they payed for the kit?
He's out of the frames for the x reels!
If someone has a 20 x frame they want t part with I'd appreciate a shot at it.
Ron
Anyone tried to contact them on the link? My SLOSH 20 needs that frame. 8)
Great find on this one. Never thought it would exist; the SL20 and 30SH are two of my favorite light live bait reels...Wish they came with studs for a rod clamp, I only own one rod with a real seat, I love deckhand style.
Do you guys think it would be possible to add the anchoring points for rod clamp studs, add threads to frame, or install threaded steel sleeves within the frame?
I too was thinking the same thing. I was told to purchase Tiburon's rod clamp for reels that don't have proper clamp stud spacing. Saw one on ebay for $39 I think.

Thanks for that info. Checked the web, and charkbait and Tiburon websites have them for sale, same price at $39.99. Nifty gadget, but wonder how well they would hold up to repeated use on a trip; would reel wobble loosen them?
Got excited about the frame upgrade, but at $60 plus a $40 rod clamp issue, with subsequent upgrade, and then the used reel + upgrades...Yeah, I still want to upgrade the Daiwa. LOL
I wanted one of these, until I learned that they don't have a clicker. :(
Does anyone know the size of the spool bearings, thanks

From what I found its 3mm x 10mm x 4mm
I also replaced the bushing in my SL20SH with a 3mm x 10mm x 4mm bearing.
Checked out their website this morning and it states they will do another run of the frames....
WITH ROD CLAMP HARDWARE BUILT IN!!! (DID NOT STATE IF A ROD CLAMP WOULD BE PROVIDED OR OEM WAS TO BE USED).
Prices will be raised slightly due to the rod clamp addition, still no clicker, I will be buying one of each when the new ones are released.
That is cool, can't wait to see them.

I'm going to do this to my regular framed slosh. Did you shim/space the bearing to stand it off the end cap?
No Jaypeegee I did not. In my cap it seemed that there was a shim already installed between the bushing and the cap side. Look here at the cap and as you can see there is a different color (lighter brown vs. black of the cap). I didn't try to get the shim out? or whatever it was out because this reel had only been fished one time and did not have any salt/water entering as far as I could tell. Look at the 12th pic down to see the shim.
http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=10526.0
After installing the bearing to replace the bushing I did not notice big difference in freespool. It seemed in my reel the spool shaft spun freely and did not come into contact with the ID of the bearing at all. Maybe with the flex of the composite frame under load there could be contact but I didn't see any with either bushing or bearing on testing.
Would I do it again? Maybe, but with the cost of only $5 for the bearing while I was already in the reel I gave it a shot. Do I think it helped? No, not a great deal.
EDIT: I just took off the cap and it looks like there is a brass spacer/shim between the cap and bushing or in my case bearing.
The brass shim saves wear and pressure on the end cap from what I see/read
I was referencing the use of a small spacer on the right hand side of the bearing to allow the bearing to spin without touching the brass shim.
Well like I said the OD of the spool shaft didn't even come into contact with the the ID of the new bearing, it spun freely not even making the bearing turn, so no shim was placed in.

Weird. I will check again tonight but I was sure mine did. When you are wrong as often as I am you begin to lose track. :D..
Assuming the ID of the bush is 3mm then does that imply inbuilt tolerance for casting and support for retrieve under load I wonder?
I don't have a vernier to check the bush ID. Did you confirm an identical ID between the bush and the 3mm ID bearing?

This is good news. Lack of clamp provisions was the deal breaker for me. Now with clamps and even new handles coming soon I will definitely be purchasing some.
When I bought the bearing I only checked the size of the bushing. After replacing the bushing and not seeing a difference in freespool I checked the ID of both and it was 3mm for both bushing and bearing. I tested the reel with the bearing in place and cap off and this is when I noticed that the spool shaft was not spinning the bearing. I then put in the bushing with the cap off and noticed the same thing, the spool spinning but the bushing stayed still. My spool shaft must be a few 1000th thinner than both the bearing and bushing ID's is all I can guess but the result was the same in my reel. When I measured the shaft I got readings like 2.98-2.99mm.
The bushings purpose is to support the shaft when under load from the drag paying out line. To test, set the drag to 6-8lb, tie the line off to something stationary and walk backwards with the spool tension cap removed, this should get the bearing to roll. Will it improve performance? negligible. :-\
I do like the frame conversion, but does it manage to lower the spools height so it sits closer to the rods blank - or is it still the same height as the stock frames? I got small hands and find it tough to grip the spool when trying to hit the horizon. ::)
The new frame lowers the spools higth.
Edit: Check out the size of the stock frame compaired to the aftermarket here.
http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=10526.0
Thanks for that. For my personal needs, it's a shame the conversion does away with the clicker. It's a must for my bait & wait surf fishing needs. :-\ I do like how the conversion has curvature crossbars. Ideal for those who lack good line guiding technique ;D
I had a look last night and the same bearing not spinning applies to mine.
I guess as stated above this may be to provide pinion support under load and less interference when casting.
X2 at the lack of clicker from me as well on these frames - I am restoring a beat up Original 7HT and took it out for the first cast last night. The realization that I love how it casts was off set by the knowledge it will never scream to alert me a fish is online due to the no line out alarm - Not sure if this is a deal breaker yet but will take time to get used to but the lower spool height is absolutely fantastic compared to the SL20SH.
These are great frames, but the lack of a click kills it for me too. I would already have one.
I gave Alan a complete SLOSH with frame to fish on the last SOA trip. He told me that he didn't have a chance to fish it. ???
For the person(s) who fished it, how did it feel? I'm not sure if I spring loaded the AR pawl, but that would be my next upgrade if I can ever get it back to work on it. Just didn't have enough time to get her done in time for the trip.
yeah, someone need a rod and reel, so i showed him what was available that he grabbed that on immediately. i think it was keith smith.
Spring load the AR pawl? This I have to see.
Ron
Where there is a will....there is a way...and if not, Alan Tani can figure it out. ;D
Have I missed something here? ;D The conversion frames and the slosh already have AR pawls which are spring loaded. You just need to bend the springs arm to accommodate the new frame conversion which replaces the post on a stock frame to a slotted recess.
(http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/Chriscpb/slosh.png)
Oh good...I guess I have nothing to worry about then. :)
http://www.socal-fishing-hunting.com/ORDER.html
Looks like they finished the run of 20 size frames with rod clamp studs, but cannot tell for sure if the 30 size frames have the rod clamp studs built in (not pictured as the 20 frames are).
Still waiting for a machined version of the rod clamp, you still have to use the OEM clamp, and apparently grind some of the rod clamp off to make it work with the upgraded frame.
And still no clicker side plate, but they are working on it...
I must he honest, I love the frames and I know this after market and somebody taking the time to do this for the community, but $145 after tax (Ca only) and shipping is a bit much...
No machined rod clamp to boot, making us buy one later, or the clicker side plate, making us buy later, and upgraded handle to come later...Sorry guys, rant over.
I'd love to see the gearbox canted forward.
The height of the slosh is the kicker when trying to get bait past the shore break
Else they do look sweet
Somehow I missed this one. Looks like I have a new project for my slosh reels.
FYI, I just ordered an SL20 kit with provisions for a clamp AND it has a CLICKER!
As noted above, they are considerably more expensive then the previous frames though.
I love my old SL. I've had it for at least 20 years and have caught all types of local and offshore fish with it. I could have just bought a new reel but figured I owed it to this one to give it new life. It's always been my 20lb go to....I think now it'll be 40 or 50lb braid to FC.
Got my frame and swapped everything over. Didn't get the bearing under the shaft the first time and couldn't figure out why the handle and shaft were so sloppy........ ::)
Clamp and clicker. Clamp (re-used) has to be shaved down to fit and the clicker (re-used) needs an additional washer (provided) under it to shim it up to fit just right. I am probably going to take it back apart to powder coat the clicker button.......or just take the rest of the black off and leave it. I bought a new handle for it but don't like it....too big.
Most likely it will stay on the ol' Calstar 220 (wrapped in '96 by Kenny Isago).

The reel looks great, and a great rod to pair it with, I have my SL20SH on a Seeker 220 for 15-20#, the Calstar 220 is a great 20-25# rod. We all have reels that cost more than we could get back, or that cost more than a reel that has more bells and whistles off the shelf, but the SLOSH upgrade looks great and makes it a one of a kind type of reel, your reel. These reels last, so now they should last forever.
Thank you for posting pics.

I've killed a few fish with it now and really like it. I will do my X20sh next.
this gives new life to the old timers Slosh reels
No pictures yet, hasn't arrived, but it's a Slosh 20 with complete frame conversion. I'll post as soon as she gets here.
Got a reelly good price. I think I'm going to like this for 1/2 day and 3/4 day 20# mono live bait action! A true classic with an awesome update and upgrade.
you'll love it
I crushed a couple more 20 lb+ yellows on it this weekend. Very impressed,paired with the 50lb braid and a bit of Flouro.
I don't think we want to go after some of these bigger tuna but the reel in it's originally forum caught a couple dozen up to 25 lbs with 20lb mono over the years.
Hopefully I will get a chance to push it. It pairs really well with the BT220 too.
I am squirllin' $$ away to do my slx20 next.
Yea, really looking forward to catching some grumpy Calicos and some Yellow Tail with it when I roll into San Diego to fish(visit family)! I haven't had a 20# bait reel in my hands in a couple years, really looking forward to it.
30lb yellowfin fell victim to the "new" reel a week or so ago. It kills fish on that 220.
Fished it on a shorter graphite rod (was on a private boat) this weekend for some smallish dorado and it didn't fish near as well.
Does anyone make these for the 50's I have 2 I'd like to upgrade?
Oh and I need them posted to Perth AUS.
thanks
looks like no.....

I searched as well and couldn't find
anything
Email Mike at the link on his site. He's sent me a couple emails with shots of the 50 frame that he has buillt/machined and is working on now. I got an email from him the other day saying he was taking it out for a couple days of "tuna test".
So yeah, it may not be available yet but there will be frames for the 50s.
Thanks
if Mike is from social fishing hunting site, tried that, got no response, wonder if the link on his site is working?

Hope Mike rotates that gear-box up some, would really be nice. If he's got a prototype 50 size I hope he's got a 40 size too!

I've found he isn't always the quickest on the return emails but when you get his attention he is. I know he said he was going fishing when he emailed me last week with a pic of the 50. Maybe he's in Baja.
Like I said, I know for a fact he has made his prototype.
As for the 40, no mention of that.
//I got an email from Mike a couple weeks ago. He said he had finally finished the clamp/strap for the frames. He also has his own machined clicker buttons now.
He sent me the parts, no charge, all hardware, even the matching allen wrench for the stainless allen bolts. Very high quality parts and even better SERVICE!
a few pics with the new cranks and knobs Mike is making now. There is a long arm, short arm, angled knob and straight knob. I need to go fishing soon to test this stuff.....
spize909,
Saw the same handles on the SoCal-fishing-hunting website:

Looks like he is doing a Fred Hall special, buy the frame and it comes with the new handle.
Pretty sweet deal!

Just took advantage of that show special and ordered the frame for my sl20 X frame. ;D
My only complaint is that they didn't kick the gearbox forward, like a Daiwa Saltist BG 20/30 . . . Makes it cramped for casting in the "factory" location !
True, but the whole housing is machined to be quite a bit smaller. That helps a lot.
Does anyone know if the 50 DAIWA SLX50SHA frame upgrade will work on the older made in Japan SL5OSH?
Will an upgraded frame SL5OSH with carbontex upgrade be strong enough for #50 line and bigger class tuna?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and insights.
I would contact Mike regarding the application.
As for fishing 50 on it, I think you'd be at about the max on the drag capabilities. Not sure how much the kit will change that.
http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/topic/401379-max-drag-daiwa-50slx-with-carbontex/
I'd fish 50 on it........
Thought I'd post a couple of pics to show how the frame reduces the size a bit. These little 20's feel like a baitcaster now. I have yet to fish the X but soon................

I've fished Diawa SL50SH solely for 22 years and always load it with 50lb line. I've also always preferred the old Smoothdrag dry Smoothies rather then the Carbontex washers in those reels because I like a drag I can lock down when it suits me. I have caught many Yellowtail and even some Tuna on these reels. These reel are strong, durable, cast well and easy to maintain and not once has one broken on me, other then a spring which then gets into the gears and makes the reel inoperable or excessive grease on the anti reverse dog, which stops it from engaging...LOL
Is it an Ideal reel for large Tuna? No I don't think so and they will for sure eventually break it but the reel can do it. Perhaps an Aluminum frame will make it even stronger.
PS I don't think you can fit the parts of a SL50 in to a SLX50 frame though quite a few parts are interchangeable.
I didn't see that he wanted to go from a slsh to an X. No way that will work but I think he has frames for both? The issue would be the Japanese model if it is different.

dang...!!! looks sexy
first time I fished with it a deckhand said the same thing.... ;D
hello everyone...new to the forum...but this thread caught my eye. I have the slx-30sha upgrade frame with no clamp provisions. I would like to put it on a United Composites deckhand rod, has anyone used the Daiwa or Tiburon universal reel clamp on their socal=fish-hunt frames?? thanks for any info or insight. cuz I heard the machined feet may not work with these clamps

Welcome bhale1
I'm going to try exactly that setup with the Daiwa clamp.
If you can wait a couple of weeks I'll report here idf it fits.

There is also the JR JONES "Cork Puppy" clamp . . .
Tight Lines !
Thanks for the replies. I'm happy to be a new member. still need to give a shout out in the new members forum. just recently started to be able to spend a little more time in saltwater fishing! until recently it was only a few 1/2 day trips out of S.D. each year on the annual family trips. Trying to get some better set-ups now, as I can find more time for fishing. Its just a little difficult trying to figure out what works from over here in Tucson, AZ....not many tackle stores here... :)

Simple solution . . . Move to Southeast Florida !
I lived there for over 40 years, before moving to NC in 2006 . . . Leaving FL was the worst mistake I ever made.
Tight Lines !
I recently ordered a frame from my sl20sh from socal-fishing-hunting. Very pleased with the quality and packaging. The build went quick and i cant wait to fish it soon. Like manana soon. :)
Just built #5 (2 have gone to friends, one to my son, one to me). Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet.
He told me he will not be making anyone frames. Not cost effective.
yep. I got three at the end and had one already. I have one more to build once I find another $50 slsh. ;D
That's a shame! They were very nice frames, and a great way to turn a good "cheap $" reel into a great little reel :-X
Brett
Too bad that there will be no more new frames. I was thinking of getting the ones with a clicker or at least upgrade the first gen frames I got from him with an upgraded sideplate.
The page for the Daiwa handles is still up, but no info about availability :(

What is that handle off of? I'm not interested in a big handle just the crank. Reel looks great btw.......I now have 4 :) One for me, one for each kid and an extra.
His handle is stock because his reels are sealine x Sha due to the metal spool. Sloshs have plastic spools. You can buy the slx handle,retaining nut, and screw as about $26-27 (bought it in 2015) total excluding shipping directly from Daiwa to replace the stock slosh handle . The retaining nut and screw is required and is an upgrade from the nut&cap of the slosh. Also you will need a special wrench for nut.
Too bad these are not available anymore. I have a 30 sha for surf and jetty fishing. Paid $26 with no handle a few years ago and has been a great addition. Was thinking a 2nd one with a frame kit would be great for offshore here in Texas as a snapper / mackrel reel and still be a good surf reel too.

Kevin, I WILL,
Please post your FB site, and I'll check it out. I don't do FB, my wife does, I'll lurk on her good name and view your Daiwa reel site.
Thanks.
Wayne

post your daiwa group amigo.
Im not to one brand and have reels from all brands, I just let go one of my favorites the saltist 20H (1st gen), still have a Daiwa Sealine-X 40HV, saltist 4500H spinning and few daiwa small baitcasters, I remember I always wanted to buy a Daiwa Pluton reel but the price and the small line capacity stopped me from get it.
