And I like it so much that I will be doing a 113h the same way  8)

So it all started with this 114 bought on ebay for dirt cheap


Made some space bar, harness lug, post, rod clamp out of carbon fiber also powder coat the reel foot and the handle arm.

Got a aluminum spool, SS gear sleeve, 2 rings, one side plate, metal washer and cut some drag washer, greased and lubed


Here it is  :-*

Marc, I knew sooner or later things were going to get out of control for you...that's a good thing ;).
Those look amazing, good job!
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

And the feel of it, hard to describe, feels weird to the touch but in a nice way

Would eventually like to make a reel out of carbon, a simple one that is, the stuff is cheap now days and easy to work with, cost me $25 for the fabric and epoxy, not bad at all and you don't need much tooling

Probably, but for being unique paint would have done the same  ;D

On my next one, I'll have some holes in the space bar 

Thanks, Marc..

It also looks like I could use a longer spacing sleeve

Wow Marc!  The CF looks fantastic, we messed with structural textile design in college a bit, CF and Kevlar were all the rage.

I'd like to know how you actually made up the spacer bars?
Did you use a threaded insert for the screws?
Beautiful work!

Here some that I'm doing right now for my 113H, I used composite of glass and carbon this time, almost ready to get wrapped, it's the difficult part I find, making the fabric bend around the post



Thanks again
Marc..
