9/0 Frame Kit

[Alto Mare]

Yes you could buddy, and it would do just fine afterward. I also rather drill the plate holes a little more instead of forcing the screw. Two holes tuned up, one on each side is all that it needs.
Keep in mind, that frame would do just fine without that screw, it is a much stronger reel now.

I know its not the proper way Doc, but since you want to use a bushing reel. That's the way I would go.
Just use a Dremel and elongate that hole a little in the sideplate. No one will ever know.

I thought about drilling the side plate; I'm too much of a perfectionist, especially for something like this. I only paid $20 for this reel, and I hope to recoup some of the cost of another reel by selling this one.

[Shark Hunter]

I thought you would say that.
20 Bucks! I'll give you $40 and do the mod myself.

Well Guys I put the frame to work on a nice 6 foot Bull shark last night at Chicken Bone Beach. It performed flawlessly. I will have a full reort and pics posted soon.

Can't wait to see them Chris!

Hope you guys and gals nail a monster, like Erik, so you can really appreciate its beauty.
Thanks, Dom

Even if I never catch so much as a minnow, I will appreciate the beauty of these reels for all my days.

Two, but I actually sold one of them to Fishhead. There is only one still out there and He is about to make good on it.

Yeah yeah, the check is in the mail.  I hate guys like that.  Dominick

The one that was still out there made it back today Dominick!

Glad that chapter is over.  Is it black or silver?  Who owns it?  Is it available?  BTW I acquired a fairly new 10/0.  Dominick

Yeah, I've been wondering all of these same questions. I wanted another, but I can't justify the expense.

Someone posted here recently to ask if there was any left.

Aiala, those look very nice, thanks for sharing.

Just to clear the air. The final one that made it Back was from Bunnlevel. The poor guy couldn't pay for it, so he sent it back. There are no frames left for sale. Lets see that 10/0 Dominick!

I often wondered where that kid got to, is he doing ok?

[floating doc]

All gone. 

I originally ordered a silver, then saw how beautiful the black frames look. I almost ordered a black frame too.

He is doing alright as far as I know Sal. He did the right thing. That's what really matters.
