Are there any frames or bars to upgrade this reel with? I just picked one up and I want to spice it up a little. Thanks.

I don't think so...

Actually, with the (6) posts and (6) screws in the stand -- for a total of 18 frame screws -- these are pretty capable little reels as is.

Best,

Fred

Fred's right, the extra posts and 6 screw stand make this reel a candidate for a little more muscle under the hood. The #5-66 main gear allows room for a 5-stack drag, and a steel gear sleeve would be a nice addition too.

Thanks Mo, for your comments, what percentage of baking soda to water, do you recommend, thanks, cheers Don.

Actually Don, I like to just dump straight baking soda on the parts before the rinse. Put the vinegar soaked parts and a splash of the vinegar in a bowl. Then dump on the baking soda. As it bubbles and pops brush the parts, then rinse with clean water. The parts will be clean and neutralized...no more green.

good to hear that these reels should be good without the addition of a frame. I'm cleaning up everything now and deciding on the path forward. I will definitely get the drag washers updated, it needs a better handle, and possibly add a stainless sleeve. Are there aluminum spools available for these?

yes from 285 Delmar.

It seems Tiburon made a few hundred 2/0 frames some time ago - it was discussed here http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=12543.0
The thread raised some discussion about the need to improve on the std 2/0 post and stand frame given the reels limitations.

Question.....did the 2/0 come with both scalloped and slotted screws for the free spool lever? Bill

Yes Bill, the 2/0 and 3/0 had both types of hardware for the shift lever

There is a seller on flee bay who has stainless cross bars. Cheaper than factory and will not corrode. Mc Master has the SS 5-40 filister head screws.
