I just got this reel which is missing the handle side plate and internals, as long as I know, the internals of this reel are the same than the penn 113h, so, I think I have all internal parts (but I need to double check) but of course I dont have the handle sideplate.
I attaching some pictures so, you can confirm if its a 454 or 545 model.
so, if by chance someone has the handle sideplate for this reel EVEN if it doesnt match with the Silver color of the frame-sideplate, let me know.

this reel was given to me by a local captain that found a forgotten bag of miscellaneous parts and reels that he didnt wanted to try to repair, with this reel he also gave me the frame, spool and trashed-out sideplates of a penn YTS reel, again with no gears, drags, etc , the YTS tiburon frame looks pretty ugly with some corrosion here and there, in a chance I will clean the frame and paint the corroded spots with a red automotive touch-up pen and called it done, I will build the YTS again for a loaner reel.

anyway, let me know if you have a spare Progear 454 sideplate  :)

Crazy proposition, but I wonder if a Lee Pro plate could fit? Fred has a bunch.

The red one is a YTS conversion. It needs a 113h side plate. The silver looks like a 454/440. It needs one their side plates due to how they're inset into the frame.

yep, I think I have all things and bits to build the RED one again, its the proGear handle sideplate that its not easy to find.
